After an enterprise obtains this qualification, it will have a very good bonus point effect in attracting venture capital, applying for bank loans, participating in government bidding and applying for government special funds. The most important thing is You can enjoy a series of tax preferential policies.
There are certain difficulties in applying for national high-tech enterprise certification. The application work in 2021 is coming soon. The editor of Jingding Intellectual Property has sorted out some of the application difficulties discovered during the counseling to help you avoid detours.
1. The number of independent intellectual property rights is too small
The number of patents is very important. When applying for intellectual property rights, you should focus on "quantity layout and quality win"! If there are only one or two invention patents, it is not enough to obtain the approval of the review experts in the high-tech enterprise certification. It is recommended that enterprises plan their intellectual property rights in advance. For work, intellectual property rights can be obtained as soon as possible through transfer or application, and related intellectual property rights that play a core supporting role in the technology of the company's main products (services). Companies that plan to apply for high-tech certification in 2021 must reserve at least 6 soft or practical works New type or 1 invention patent.
2. Difficulty in collecting R&D expenses and insufficient proportion
Because the company did not make relevant plans when applying, the company's high-tech application process was delayed to a large extent in the later period. The collection of R&D expenses is a headache for applicants. In fact, R&D expenses can be collected in a wide range, such as R&D personnel salaries, social security, material fees, intellectual property application fees, trial production fees, outsourcing development fees, etc. Specifically, you can ask your accountant to follow the guidelines for identifying high-tech enterprises and the collection requirements of the policy document on the super deduction of R&D expenses. Please note that all plans must be made before applying. All data hard targets must be met.
3. Imperfect organizational management system
During the process of applying for high-tech enterprises, we found that many companies that were supposed to have high-tech qualifications did not have relatively complete R&D organizations and management systems. Instead, they mostly adopted extensive management. Don’t lose points where you should least lose points. . Improving various management systems is also one of the focuses of high-tech enterprise declaration.
4. It is difficult to realize the transformation of achievements
The forms of achievement transformation are diverse, such as sales contracts, test reports, intellectual property rights, technical services, etc. However, companies are often confused when preparing, and the preparation materials are cumbersome but lack pertinence.
5. Data is inconsistent
Inconsistency of data in various reports is a common problem we find when sorting out declaration materials, such as corporate income tax annual tax returns, corporate annual audit reports, special audit reports, etc. Pay attention to the main business income, main business costs, management expenses, For key data such as R&D expenditures, employee compensation, and total profits, you must pay attention to the consistency of the data.
6. Crimping
Some companies lack the conditions and do not plan in advance. They make materials on the fly and have problems with the materials being unreal, laying hidden dangers for the subsequent development of the company. Nowadays, the identification of high-tech enterprises tends to be strict rather than relaxed. We advocate early planning and preparation, and make reasonable declarations in accordance with the regulations. If you do not meet the conditions, do not apply forcefully. What seems to be a way to save money in the early stage may require greater costs to make up for it in the future. The gain outweighs the loss.
