  • Discrepancy between the product names on the customs declaration and the VAT invoice (automatic system alert in 2025)
  • Logistics document time-logic conflict: loading date earlier than customs declaration date
• Funding risks:
  • The agency misappropriated the tax refund funds (it is recommended to use a third-party escrow account)
  • Cross-border payment exchange-rate loss (forward settlement exchange rate can be locked in for 2025)
• Policy risks:
  • Misdeclaration of Export-Controlled Goods (Focus on the 2025 HS Code Adjustment Catalog)
  • Incorrect application of rules of origin under the free trade agreement

What are the important changes in the 2025 export tax rebate policy?

According to the transitional policy released by the Ministry of Finance in December 2024:

• Filing deadline extension: extended from April of the year following export to the May VAT filing period.
• Expansion of electronic documents: Bills of lading for sea freight and air waybills are now included in the scope of electronic filing.
• Negative List Management: Implement pre-refund review for 15 categories of high-risk goods
• Credit Linkage Mechanism: A company's tax credit rating directly determines its priority in the tax refund review process.

(Note: The detailed implementation rules effective in 2025 are subject to the State Taxation Administration’s official announcements.)
