Export DrawbackHow does the process work? What is the formula for export tax rebate calculation? The operation of the export tax rebate process is a systematic procedure involving multiple steps designed to support export enterprises by refunding paid VAT and consumption taxes, thereby reducing financial burdens and enhancing international competitiveness. The specific process and calculation formula are outlined below, providing clear operational guidance for export enterprises.

The detailed export tax rebate process is as follows:

Collection of registration forms and issuance of relevant documents
First, within 30 days of obtaining the export product operation rights and the registration certificate issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce, enterprises must apply to the tax authority for export enterprise tax rebate registration, marking the start of the rebate process.
Tax rebate registration filing and acceptance
Enterprises must complete the Export Enterprise Tax Rebate Registration Form, affix the official seal, and submit it along with the export product operation rights approval documents, business registration certificates, and other relevant supporting materials to the tax authority. After verifying the information, the tax authority will accept the enterprises tax rebate registration application.
Issuance of Export Tax Rebate Registration Certificate
After reviewing formal applications through standard procedures, tax authorities issue Export Tax Rebate Registration Certificates—critical documentation for subsequent rebate operations.
Modification or Cancellation of Export Tax Rebate Registration
If there are changes in the business situation of the enterprise or adjustments in certain tax rebate policies, the enterprise should promptly modify or cancel the tax rebate registration in accordance with the actual situation to ensure compliance with the latest tax rebate policy requirements.

Calculation formula for export tax rebates

The calculation of export tax rebates involves two parts: the calculation of the taxable amount and the calculation of the rebate amount.

Taxable Amount Calculation

(1) Formula for calculating the output tax on export goods: Output tax on export goods = FOB price of export goods × RMB exchange rate × tax rate
(2) Current Tax Payable Formula: Current Tax Payable = Domestic Sales Output Tax + Export Goods Output Tax - Input Tax

Rebate Amount Calculation

Formula for calculating the rebate amount: Rebate amount = FOB price of export goods × RMB exchange rate × rebate rate

Through these calculation formulas, enterprises can estimate their rebate amounts, providing a basis for financial planning and cash flow management. The smooth progress of the export tax rebate process and accurate tax calculation are of great significance for enhancing the competitiveness of export enterprises and safeguarding their interests. Enterprises should strictly comply with process requirements, reasonably arrange rebate-related matters, and ensure the successful completion of rebate operations, thereby optimizing their financial status and market competitiveness.
