Talk to a Trade ExpertI am the owner of a small and micro furniture export enterprise in Chengdu. I recently received an order from Europe, and this is my first time handling export tax refund. I do not know the total cost of hiring an agency for the service.
I heard before that some agencies provide ambiguous quotations with hidden charges, and I am worried about being misled. I want to know the specific charging standard for export tax refund agency services in Chengdu, the included service scope, whether there is a charging model calculated as a percentage of the tax refund amount, and the points to note to avoid unnecessary extra expenses.

The fee structure of Chengdu export tax refund agency services is mainly divided into two modes: fixed service fee and proportional fee based on the tax refund amount. The fixed service fee is usually RMB 1000 to 3000 per order，applicable to orders with a relatively small tax refund amount. The proportional fee is generally 1% to 3% of the tax refund amount，suitable for enterprises with large tax refund amounts.
It should be noted that formal compliant agencies will not charge hidden fees such as "express processing fee" or "document material fee"，and their service scope should cover the whole process including document verification，tax declaration，letter audit response，and document filing. When selecting an agency，enterprises shall compare the full service scope，and avoid neglecting compliance only for extremely low prices，for example，confirming whether the agency can guarantee "consistency of four flows" to reduce tax audit risks.
It is recommended to give priority to agencies with more than 20 years of industry experience，they can shorten the tax refund cycle by optimizing the declaration process，and indirectly improve the capital turnover rate. In addition，some agencies provide free pre-declaration verification services，helping enterprises identify document defects in advance and avoid declaration failure.

Chengdu export tax refund agency services involve the compliance of customs declaration documents, which requires consistent information among customs declaration forms, value-added tax invoices, export contracts, bills of lading and other documents. Wrong HS code on the customs declaration form will lead to export tax refund declaration failure, and even trigger a letter audit from the tax authority.
The agency shall assist the enterprise in checking the accuracy of HS codes to avoid delays in tax refund progress caused by code-related problems. Meanwhile, under the integrated customs clearance mode, Chengdu enterprises can handle customs declaration through nationwide port linkage. The agency shall be familiar with cross-port operation procedures to ensure customs declaration information is synchronized to the tax system.。

When Chengdu enterprises handle export tax refund via an agency, they shall pay attention to the compliance of value-added tax input invoices. The agency shall assist the enterprise in screening qualified supplier invoices, and avoid tax refund recovery caused by using falsely issued invoices.
At the same time, applying the VAT deferral policy can reduce capital occupation cost, but the enterprise shall meet the requirements of tax authorities. The agency shall design a reasonable tax structure according to the actual situation of the enterprise, for example, optimizing profit distribution through an offshore company to reduce the overall tax burden.。
