Technology-driven platform to maximise your company's R&D incentives potential
R&D Incentive
China has progressively developed a series of incentive regimes to encourage innovation and research and development (R&D) activities conducted by enterprises. The government offers a range of tax incentives and benefits for different stages of the R&D process covering entire R&D value chain from initiation to final achievement. In a view to managing potential risks and disputes, we suggest enterprises carry out pre-evaluations before applying these incentives, and strengthen internal management of R&D process. Based on our experience, enterprises often encounter following challenges in relation to their application of R&D:
- Not adopting technology-driven methodology
- Lack of comprehensive R&D management system
- Ineffective communication between R&D department and finance/tax department
- Difficulties in identifying qualified R&D activities
- Inaccurate or inefficient tracking of R&D expenses
