In fact, before coming to Jinhai Electronics’ one-on-one “small stove”, the district science and technology bureau also held a special training session in Luotuo Street, teaching enterprises the experience of collecting research and development expenses and providing detailed explanations for the problems that may arise during the process of applying for subsidies after research and development expenses. The indicator for research and development personnel should correspond to the content in the enterprise’s accounting and tax department’s auxiliary accounts. The staff brought many “tricks” to solve the pain points and difficulties encountered by enterprises when enjoying policy incentives.
On the one hand, improving the level of precise services through visits is necessary to stimulate the internal driving force of market entities’ technological innovation.
