Guide to Simplifying Export Tax Rebates for Multiple Invoices

Completing a major export order only to encounter bureaucratic hurdles in tax rebate declarations can feel like a pyrrhic victory. The challenge intensifies when multiple input invoices correspond to a single export transaction. This guide provides actionable solutions to optimize your export tax rebate process and accelerate capital recovery.

Correct Methods for Listing Export Invoice Numbers

When multiple export invoices correspond to a single transaction, proper documentation is essential. Consider these two approaches:

  • Complete Listing Method: Record each invoice number in full, separated by commas or semicolons. This straightforward approach works best with limited quantities.
  • Sequential Number Method: For consecutive invoice numbers, document the first complete number followed by a hyphen and the last 2-3 digits of the final number. Example: For invoices 35216406 through 35216415, enter as 35216406-15. This significantly improves efficiency with large volumes.

The sequential method proves particularly valuable when dealing with extensive invoice lists, eliminating tedious manual entry.

Step-by-Step Declaration Process for Multiple Input Invoices

Follow this detailed procedure when a single customs declaration corresponds to multiple input invoices:

Step 1: Access the tax rebate declaration interface and select "Detailed Data Collection."

Step 2: Within the collection page, choose "Foreign Trade Enterprise Export Tax Rebate Export Detail Declaration Form" and click "New."

Step 3: Create a unique association number following this format: "Declaration year/month (6 digits) + Declaration batch (3 digits) + Serial number (1-8 digits)." Example: 20220100100000001 for January 2022's first batch. Accurately input the 21-digit customs declaration number and corresponding export information.

Step 4: Return to the data collection page after completing the export details, then select "Foreign Trade Enterprise Export Tax Rebate Purchase Detail Declaration Form."

Step 5: Match the association number with corresponding VAT special invoice information. After entering the first invoice, select "Save and Add" to continue with subsequent invoices, ensuring complete accuracy for each entry.

Mastering these procedures transforms complex export tax rebate declarations into manageable processes, enabling businesses to focus on growth rather than paperwork.
