In the Big Data Cloud Computing Eco-Tech Industrial Park of Pinggui District, the R&D team of Yuhao Technology (Guangxi) Co., Ltd. is working intensively to debug the "Guiqi Cloud" platform. This artificial intelligence enterprise already possesses over 20 software copyrights and one AI algorithm invention patent. The company's General Manager, Zhang Shihui, candidly stated, "Tax incentives have been like a 'timely rain'; the 1.41 million yuan in tax reductions for 2024 and 2025 empower us to invest boldly and innovate fearlessly." The company invests millions of yuan annually in research and development. "Technological iteration is too fast; without innovation, you get left behind," Zhang Shihui remarked. What gives him peace of mind is that these preferential tax policies provide a solid foundation for innovation. Since 2023, Yuhao Technology has enjoyed approximately 1.738 million yuan in tax benefits, including additional deductions for R&D expenses. "With more fluid capital and a lighter burden, our drive for R&D is stronger than ever."

This is not an isolated case. In the Kelong Industrial Park of Pinggui District, Chen Shuhua, the financial officer of Guangxi Hezhou Kelong Powder Co., Ltd., shares a similarly profound sentiment: "Our company has enjoyed over 15 million yuan in tax reductions from additional R&D expense deductions in the past two years. These funds act like a 'lubricant' for our production lines; we've channeled all the capital into technological upgrades and equipment retrofitting, significantly enhancing the company's market competitiveness." The Hezhou tax authorities have established specialized policy promotion teams to provide "one-on-one" targeted guidance for emerging industries like electronics, biopharmaceuticals, and artificial intelligence. In 2025, they conducted 2,255 targeted "Spring Rain Nurturing Seedlings" guidance sessions, executed 104 precise policy pushes, and disseminated 9,237 informational messages. The policy implementation process has also been significantly streamlined: claiming additional R&D expense deductions follows a "self-assessment, declaration for enjoyment, and record-keeping" model, allowing enterprises to enjoy benefits directly without prior approval.

Emerging enterprises grow rapidly and have diverse needs, necessitating tax services that are "tailored to the specific enterprise." The Municipal Tax Bureau has launched a "Young Tax Vanguard" service team, creating individualized growth records for each enterprise and implementing a "on-site guidance + remote Q&A" model. A medical technology company in Guangxi went from signing the contract to commencing production in just three months, with its Class II medical device registration certificate approved in a mere 46 days. "Tax officials provided全程跟踪 (quánchéng gēnzōng, full-process tracking), explaining the specific policies for the medical device industry in detail and helping us plan our tax costs rationally," said the company's financial officer. Currently, the company's production lines are operating at full capacity, with a potential monthly output of 100 medical devices, demonstrating a highly encouraging trend of robust production and sales.

For enterprises in their growth phase, the Hezhou tax authorities guide them to establish a "Chief Tax and Statistics Officer" (CTO) role to enhance their compliance management and tax planning capabilities. For mature enterprises, they provide guidance on complex matters such as equity transfers, mergers, and acquisitions. Tax-enterprise WeChat groups offer 24/7 online consultation, while the electronic tax bureau and mobile apps enable "non-contact" tax handling, allowing businesses to "run more errands online and fewer on the road."

Industrial parks serve as the primary hubs for industrial agglomeration. The Hezhou tax authorities have established a collaborative governance mechanism with park management, forming specialized service teams to provide入驻企业 (rùzhù qǐyè, tenant enterprises) with全链条、全周期 (quán liàntiáo, quán zhōuqī, full-chain, full-cycle) tax accompaniment from investment attraction and establishment to production. In the Zhongshan Industrial Park, a new energy company acts as an upstream supplier for four electronic information manufacturing firms. The company's负责人 (fùzérén, responsible person), Xu Yongtang, said, "The tax department guided us in applying for a new-type lithium battery consumption tax reduction, from which we benefited nearly 70,000 yuan in 2025. These savings were reinvested into equipment upgrades, creating a virtuous cycle."

Tax big data has also become a "wise eye" for risk prevention and industrial insight. The Hezhou tax authorities use data "profiling" to monitor enterprise risks in real-time, providing early warnings and guidance for rectification. Simultaneously, they have established tax data models for emerging industries to conduct in-depth analysis of trends in production, operation, and R&D investment, offering valuable references for decision-making by the municipal party committee and government.

In Hezhou, tax incentive policies have tangibly transformed from "paper benefits" into a "powerful engine" driving innovation. Qin Yongsheng, the financial officer of Guangxi Hezhou Jinguang Rare Earth New Materials Co., Ltd., stated, "Since 2024, we have enjoyed nearly one million yuan in tax benefits, including 355,000 yuan in additional R&D expense deductions. This allows us to make bolder investments in new technology R&D." The Hezhou tax authorities continuously promote the "policy finds enterprise" initiative, utilizing precise pushes through the electronic tax bureau and expert team上门辅导 (shàngmén fǔdǎo, on-site guidance) to ensure enterprises fully enjoy the benefits they are entitled to. In recent years, the beneficiary coverage of high-tech enterprises and sci-tech SMEs across the city has steadily expanded, with a noticeable increase in R&D investment intensity.

Yuhao Technology's code runs in the cloud, Kelong Powder's production lines operate efficiently, and Jinguang Rare Earth's patents continue to accumulate... These dynamic innovations are underpinned by silent yet powerful tax support. The Hezhou tax authorities, through the warmth of policy, the precision of service, and the depth of data, are ensuring tax incentives move from "paper" to "accounts," and from "accounts" into the confidence and strength for enterprises to "forge ahead with innovation." The Hezhou tax authorities will continue to focus on the needs of industries such as artificial intelligence, biopharmaceuticals, and new materials, refining service measures and promoting policy implementation to inject more "tax momentum" into the city's industrial development, aiding Hezhou's economy in taking greater strides towards high-quality development.
