1 离境退税政策
The tax refund policy
离境退税,是指境外旅客在离境时,对其在退税商店购买的退税物品,可以享受退还增值税的政策。
Taxrefund allows overseas travelers to re⁃claim the value- added tax (VAT) on items pur⁃chased from Tax Free stores upon leaving the country.
当然,并不是所有外国人都可以享受这个政策,在我国境内连续居住不超过183天的外国人和港澳台同胞才可以享受这个政策。
Surely,not all foreigners are eligible for thispolicy. Only foreigners or compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan who have resided con⁃tinuously in China or the Chinese mainland for no more than183days are eligible for this policy.
此外,享受该政策还需满足下列条件:同一境外旅客同一日在同一退税商店购买的退税物品金额需达到500元人民币;退税物品不能在境内启用或消费;离境日距退税商品购买日不超过90天;商品必须由境外旅客本人随身携带或随行托运出境。
Additionally,to qualify for this policy, certainconditions must be met:
The amount of tax refundable items pur⁃chased by the same overseas traveler on the same day from the same Tax Free store must reach500RMB; Tax refundable items cannot be used or consumed domestically; The departure date should be no more than90days from the purchase date of the tax refundable items; The traveler must car⁃ry the puchased items with himself/herself or check them together with luggage when departing the country.
2 如何计算退税金额
How to calculate the tax refund
是不是在所有的商店购物都能享受离境退税政策?我们在购物时,如果想享受离境退税政策,一定要寻找有TAX FREE标志的商店。
CanI shop at any store here and enjoy the tax refund policy?To enjoy the tax re⁃fund policy,you must shop at stores displaying the TAX FREE sign.
此外,需要注意的是,在离境退税商店完成购物后,一定记得向商店索取离境退税申请单和销售发票。那么,如何计算退税金额?
Additionally, after shopping at a Tax Free store, remember to collect the Refund Applica⁃tion Form for Overseas Visitors and VAT in⁃voice. So, how to calculate the exact amount of the tax refund?
当你购买商品时,商店会给你开具一张销售发票,你购买该商品所支付的金额,包括税额,都会写在这张发票上。购买商品所花费的总金额(包括增值税)乘以退税率,就是应退增值税额。应退增值税额减去退税机构办理退税手续费,就得到我们最终可以收到的退税金额。
Whenyou purchase an item, the store will issue a VAT invoice detailing the total amount paid, including taxes. The refundable amount is the total amount spent (includingVAT) multiplied by the refund rate. Subtract the handling fee charged by the tax refund agency to get the final refund amount.
The refundable VAT amount=VAT in⁃voice amount of the tax refund items (includ⁃ing VAT) × Refund rate
The actual refundable VAT amount = Re⁃fundable VAT amount - service fee charged by the tax refund agency
For overseas travelers shopping for tax re⁃fund items subject to a13% tax rate, the re⁃fund rate is11%;for items subject to a9%tax rate, the refund rate is8%.
