Does 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.

I'd like to ask the experts: From a legal, operational, and negotiation perspective, how should I advocate for my rights?
