China's State Taxation Administration announced that in the first half of the year, tax and fee reductions totaling 1.91 trillion yuan were implemented to support technological innovation and manufacturing development. A significant portion of this, 659.6 billion yuan, was allocated to policies encouraging enterprise innovation and technology transfer, such as the additional deduction for R&D expenses. Policies supporting high-tech enterprises and emerging industries, including a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15% for high-tech firms, contributed approximately 252 billion yuan in tax relief. Additionally, measures aimed at advancing high-end development and addressing critical technological bottlenecks, like value-added tax reductions for advanced manufacturing enterprises, provided nearly 1 trillion yuan in tax relief.
