In accordance with the "Management Measures for the Recognition of High and New Technology Enterprises" jointly issued by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Finance, and the State Administration of Taxation in January 2016, and recognizing the high and new technology enterprises designated in the "National Key Support Areas for High and New Technology Fields," eligible enterprises can apply for a preferential corporate income tax rate of 15%, effective from January 1, 2008, as per the new "Enterprise Income Tax Law" and its "Implementation Regulations." Additionally, they can also apply for various government special support funds, employee settlement, and other incentive policies.

Our firm can act as an agent to assist clients in applying for recognition as high and new technology enterprises, including incubated companies. The specific steps are as follows:

1.Gain an in-depth understanding of your company's specific situation and analyze the eligibility criteria for recognition in relation to the actual circumstances of your business. We will propose specific plans for high-tech recognition and reexamination to prepare for a successful application.

2.According to relevant regulations, such as the "Several Opinions of the Shanghai Municipal People's Government on Accelerating the Development of High and New Technology Enterprises in This City" and the "Detailed Rules for Implementing the Incubation of High and New Technology Enterprises in Shanghai," non-high-tech companies that meet the conditions can apply for incubation as high-tech companies. They may receive financial support ranging from 200,000 to 2 million yuan, equivalent to 10% of their research and development expenses.

3.Starting from the high-tech enterprise recognition work contract, we provide relevant consulting services for high-tech enterprises and offer comprehensive consulting services for the three years following successful recognition.
