3. State Council: Expanding the scope of pre-tax deduction of enterprise R & D expenses
Recently, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council issued the "Opinions on Deepening the Reform of the Science and Technology System and Accelerating the Construction of the National Innovation System" (hereinafter referred to as "Opinions"), which proposed that the main position of enterprises in technological innovation should be established during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period.
The "Opinions" pointed out that China's independent innovation capability is not strong enough, the main body of technological innovation in enterprises has not been established, the allocation of some scientific and technological resources is over-administrated, and the enthusiasm and creativity of scientific and technological personnel have not been fully exerted.
The "Opinion" proposes that during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, to establish the dominant position of enterprises in technological innovation, the whole society's R & D expenditure should account for 2.2% of GDP. It is necessary to form more core technologies with independent intellectual property rights, give full play to the role of the technological innovation backbone of large enterprises, and cultivate a number of innovative enterprises and technological SME innovation clusters with comprehensive competitiveness at the forefront of the world.
The "Opinions" put forward the need to establish an institutional mechanism for the R & D and innovation of enterprises' leading industries. Accelerate the establishment of an enterprise-oriented, market-oriented, and closely-integrated technology innovation system that combines production, education, and research. Give full play to the main role of enterprises in technology innovation decision-making, research and development investment, scientific research organization and achievement transformation, and attract enterprises to participate in decision-making of national science and technology projects. Major national science and technology projects with clear industry goals are led and implemented by qualified enterprises.
At the same time, it is necessary to implement the pre-tax deduction policy for corporate R & D expenses, which covers R & D activities in strategic emerging industries, traditional industry technological transformation and modern service industries, etc .; improve the method of calculating corporate R & D expenses, and reasonably expand R & D expenses The scope of deductions was increased, and the implementation of policies such as accelerated depreciation of R & D equipment for enterprises was strengthened.
In terms of personnel training, the Opinions propose that to stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of scientific and technological personnel, the R & D manpower investment per 10,000 employees must reach 43 person-years; the proportion of citizens with basic scientific quality must exceed 5%.
The "Opinions" proposes that by 2020, China's original innovation capability should be significantly improved, and the innovation environment should be further optimized. A national innovation system with Chinese characteristics adapted to the socialist market economic system and in accordance with the laws of scientific and technological development will basically be established and enter the ranks of innovative countries.
In recent years, the central government has continuously called for deepening the reform of the scientific and technological system. In May 2012, Hu Jintao chaired a meeting of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to study and deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system and accelerate the construction of the national innovation system. The meeting pointed out that to build an innovative country, the most fundamental thing is to rely on the power of science and technology, and the most important thing is to greatly improve the ability of independent innovation.
In July 2011, Premier Wen Jiabao of the State Council and State Councilor wrote articles in Qiushi magazine about the reform of the scientific and technological system. Wen Jiabao pointed out that for better development of science and technology, we must continue to deepen the reform of the science and technology system. Liu Yandong said that the unreasonable system and mechanism is an important reason for the lack of innovative capacity at the source of basic research in China. It is necessary to deepen the reform of the scientific and technological system and deepen the reform to remove obstacles and stimulate momentum.
In order to help enterprises handle their accounts properly, and assist small businesses to familiarize themselves with the pre-tax deduction of accounts under the small standard, create benefits for enterprises, and help enterprises successfully complete tax declarations with tax authorities, Chanjet Accounting Home has held a series of Expert video lectures on pre-tax deductions, including the national tax department s personally sitting in the town, supporting enterprises, and explaining on-site hot topics of concern to enterprises, including sun tax saving, contracts and tax payment, and small business audit risk prevention, Lectures on pre-tax deductions, etc., and more than 10 experts interacted online to answer questions, helping finance and taxation personnel to learn and understand the implementation of pre-tax deductions in specific accounting practices.
