Where Might a Potential Tax Rebate Lie?
During the previous decades that Hongda has been working with overseas clients in China, we are surprised to find out that many of the companies failed to take their tax rebate back and left their money behind without claiming.
If you don’t claim it, nobody comes and delivers it back to you! Typically, a company in China will pay the following taxes:
- Corporation Income Tax
- Value Added Tax (VAT)
- Import/Export Tax
Those taxes add up and accumulate over years of your operation, and they may end up as quite a huge number depending on your industry location, category, and other factors.
"No Tax Rebate, No"Fee" - Hongda's Promise
Claiming a tax refund yourself could be challenging, considering the complicated application materials and the time-consuming process, which may take up to 3 to 6 months.
However, it will be perfect if Hongda's professional consultants could manage the whole process on your behalf when you are eligible and deliver the refunds to you directly, won’t it?
Hongda’s professional experts can help you with tax rebates just like you could imagine. By meeting with you and examining your financial reports, we will understand your unique needs and requirements based on your current condition and apply to deliver the maximum tax refunds back to you.

- A free consultation (face-to-face or online) to discuss your situation in your preferred language;
- Detailed rebate plan and real-time progress updates;
- Your tax refunds delivered to your bank account when available;
- Reasonable and fair pricing without any hidden charges;
And remember, an application for a tax rebate may not always be feasible.
- It usually takes about 3 to 6 months to claim your tax rebate.
- In general cases, Hongda will only be able to get a tax rebate for your company up to the previous 3 years.

2026 service note: who should review tax rebate eligibility
This service is for operating companies, WFOEs and foreign-invested enterprises that want to check whether their actual tax records, invoices and transaction facts may support a tax rebate or refund route. Broader filing and advisory questions should be coordinated with China tax risk review.
How Hongda helps
- Review the company background, relevant tax records, invoice evidence and accounting files.
- Identify whether the file appears worth preparing for a tax bureau review or whether records need cleanup first.
- Coordinate supporting documents with China bookkeeping support when the accounting trail is incomplete.
- Escalate cash-flow or management questions to CFO outsourcing in China where refund timing or finance controls matter.
Risks and common mistakes
Eligibility, refund amount and timing depend on the tax type, records, local review and transaction facts. Avoid treating a general policy as automatic eligibility, relying on incomplete invoices, or waiting until old records are hard to reconstruct.
