How much tax rebate can I get for the FOB price of the goods from Nanjing? (Reposted)
Our company is located in Nanjing, and our factory is in Jiangsu. Recently, I heard from a colleague that when declaring customs, if we report the FOB price as FOB Nanjing instead of FOB Shanghai, we can get a larger tax refund. Is this true? How can we legally get a higher tax refund by doing this?

Mar 20, 2026 at 08:401013 AnswersDoes Hefei tax rebate count towards commission?
I work as a sales representative at a foreign trade company in Hefei, and recently, there's been a disagreement with my company about whether tax rebates should be included in my commission. The contract doesn't specify this clearly. The company argues that tax rebates are subsidies provided by the government and shouldn't be considered part of my sales performance, but I believe that the tax rebates I've worked hard to secure should rightfully be included in my commission calculation basis. I'd like to ask the experts: From a legal, operational, and negotiation perspective, how should I advocate for my rights?
