Red Net Moment News reporter Tan Zhongxin correspondent Zhu Chang and Lv Jinping report from Changsha
Ordinary people live their lives, and open the door to seven things: "firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea";How many things do you need to prepare for when you go out to do business?It's certainly more than seven.
The rapid progress of the Belt and Road Initiative has attracted more and more Changsha enterprises to go out and invest in the market. However, in the past, some enterprises have encountered overseas tax problems after "going global". Due to the lack of understanding of the channels of the host country's tax system, many enterprises ignore the "knowing themselves and the enemy" of the tax policy, and cannot reasonably judge and effectively control the tax risks of cross-border operations. For example, if you don't understand the tax system of the country where you invest, you don't enjoy the preferential treatment you should enjoy, you can't get back the tax you pay overpaid, and so on. If this matter is not solved well, it will be really troublesome.
In recent years, the Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation has made full use of tax big data to provide accurate portraits of "going out" enterprises, carried out the "inclusive + targeted" "going out" enterprise classification service model, combined with taxpayers' tax-related demands, optimized "one-to-one" tax services such as policy guidance, risk reminders, and dispute resolution, so as to realize the accurate identification and push of tax policies, send "real gold" tax benefits to cross-border e-commerce, and help enterprises "travel lightly".
Facing the wind and waves
In the past ten years, as an important node city of the "Belt and Road", Changsha people who are "worried about the world and dare to be the first" have actively participated in the construction of the "Belt and Road", written the Changsha chapter of the "Belt and Road" with pride, and realized the "gorgeous transformation" from the inland hinterland to the frontier of opening up.
Due to the great diversity of tax systems and tax management methods in various countries, how to understand, adapt and effectively use them has become a common problem faced by many "going global" enterprises. Since 2023, the tax department has launched the "Tax Road" service brand with the focus on serving the whole life cycle of cross-border investment, and provided more refined, professional and personalized services for "going global" enterprises. Under the guidance of the State Administration of Taxation and the Provincial Taxation Bureau, the Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau has also launched the cross-border tax service of "Tax Road, Xianglian Enterprise, and Long-term Protection". The "tax road" has been opened, and the heart of Xingcheng enterprises to "go out" has also become more determined.
The Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau held a cross-border tax service and policy seminar on "Tax Road, Xianglian Enterprise, and Long-term Protection" to carry out cross-border tax services to key foreign contracted project enterprises.
In November last year, the Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau held a cross-border tax policy seminar to carry out cross-border tax policy special lectures and counseling, and to answer questions face-to-face on the difficult tax issues of foreign contracted projects that enterprises are concerned about. The financial personnel of more than 10 key foreign contracted engineering enterprises in the city presented international tax policy service packages and exclusive service business cards, and are committed to providing professional, standardized and international tax services for the whole process and whole process of enterprises going out.
The team of tax experts provides a full range of services to help us respond to domestic and foreign tax risks in a timely manner and better carry out overseas business, which is really intimate. This makes us more confident and at ease to 'go global'. Zhong Hongbo, general manager of the Finance Department of the Fifth Engineering Bureau of China Construction, said.
The continuous improvement of the service has been recognized by more enterprises. In view of the many uncertainties faced in developing overseas markets, the service team of Changsha tax department followed up the whole process, sorted out the tax-related guidelines for overseas investment in advance, and provided one-on-one personalized consultation and guidance and solutions for major and complex tax-related matters, so that enterprises have more confidence in doing a good job in overseas projects.
From Xiangtan University to Uganda** government, there are our company's products. Since the beginning of this year, our sprayed cable tray has been in short supply in the market. Lei Zhichang, the legal representative of Changsha Yaming Electronic Technology Development Co., Ltd., introduced that as an enterprise mainly engaged in the manufacture of electrical machinery and equipment, the company adheres to independent research and development as its core competitiveness, and has created a series of products such as hot-dip galvanized bracket and sprayed cable tray on the "track" of cable tray, high and low voltage bus duct and subway tunnel embedded channel, which are favored by the market.
Taking advantage of the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", the company is currently vigorously exploring overseas markets. However, the policy issues of international taxation have made it difficult for us. Zhou Li, the company's financial director, said: "In October last year, the tax department organized a policy propaganda vanguard team to take the initiative to carry out policy guidance, and answered our questions about 'how to file taxes for dispatched personnel to receive wages and salaries at home and abroad at the same time', and cooperated with the electronic tax bureau to explain the business handling process in detail." The intimate service of the tax department completely dispelled our concerns about 'going out'. ”
Not afraid of the wind and waves
In order to help every "going out" enterprise solve their worries, the Changsha Municipal Taxation Bureau made full use of internal and external data to draw an exclusive portrait of the enterprise, accurately screened the qualified "going out" enterprises, took the initiative to publicize and counsel, and tracked and monitored in real time, so as to help enterprises effectively prevent risks and promote the dividends of preferential tax policies to reach directly at the fastest speed and with the most accurate accuracy. At the same time, we will establish a direct connection mechanism for key "going out" enterprises, set up a team of experts, and provide refined and customized services.

The construction machinery industry is Changsha's advantageous pillar industry, and it is striving to create a world-class advanced manufacturing cluster. Sunward Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was founded in 1999 by Professor He Qinghua of Central South University, relying on revolutionary innovative products - hydraulic static pile drivers, and has now become one of the leading enterprises of underground engineering equipment in China, ranking among the top 50 construction machinery manufacturers in the world and the top 3 regional aircraft leasing companies in the world.
The tax department fully supports Sunward's business development, provides comprehensive tax policy guidance in a timely manner, and guides enterprises to implement various policies in place.
The Changsha tax department closely follows the pulse of the development of key industries, and continues to promote the refinement of tax services, intelligent tax payment, and accurate publicity and guidance in the transformation from "people looking for policies" to "policies looking for people", so as to ensure that policy dividends directly reach business entities. In recent years, the Changsha County Taxation Bureau has fully supported the business development of Sunward, provided comprehensive tax policy guidance in a timely manner, and guided enterprises to implement various policies in place.
From January to October last year, the company enjoyed a total of 13.2 billion yuan, received export tax rebate 1$8.4 billion. Nie Fenfang, the financial director of Sunward, introduced a series of preferential tax policies issued by the state, which reduced the pressure on the capital turnover of enterprises and provided strong support for technological innovation. At present, Sunward is taking the lead in tackling the key technology of "stuck neck", actively promoting the upstream and downstream cooperation of the construction machinery industry chain, and the preferential tax will help it to make new contributions to accelerating the construction of a modern industrial system rich in Changsha's characteristics and advantages.
Liuyang fireworks have come from a long history of more than 1,400 years, not only shining in the night sky, but also going to the world and enjoying a global reputation. However, the road to "going out" of Liuyang fireworks enterprises is not smooth.
Liuyang Century Red Fireworks Manufacturing and Sales, hereinafter referred to as "Century Red Company") is a large-scale fireworks production and operation enterprise integrating scientific research, production and fireworks. Previously, the company did not know much about the latest preferential tax policies in the export business, resulting in a lot of missed opportunities to enjoy tax incentives. This problem was discovered by comparing data reports when the tax cadres of the Guandu Taxation Branch of the Liuyang Municipal Taxation Bureau checked the tax payment situation.
In view of the "going out" situation of Century Red Company and other firecracker enterprises, the tax department adopted the teaching method of "analysis of tax types + examples" to convene relevant enterprises to focus on the particularity of the export industry and the firecracker industry, and gave a detailed explanation of hot issues such as tax incentives and export tax rebates.
The tax cadres focused on explaining the particularity of the export industry and the firecracker industry, and helped the firecracker enterprises to "go global".
With the help of the tax department, Century Red Company corrected the statements, and in 2023, it will enjoy an export tax rebate of more than 580,000 yuan and a reduction of more than 20,000 yuan from six taxes and two fees for small and micro enterprises.
Liu Qing, the company's financial officer, said excitedly: "Thank you very much to the tax department. More than 600,000 yuan of preferential tax dividends arrived immediately, which greatly reduced the pressure on the company's capital turnover”
The tide of tax incentives is surging
The avenue is wide across the sky, facing the sea and standing at the head of the tide. In the face of the ever-changing international market, if enterprises want to "go overseas" to achieve stability and long-term success, they must not only work "shipbuilding", but also effectively use the "talisman" of tax treaties.
At present, Changsha has established sister cities or concluded friendly cooperative relations with 52 cities in 31 countries, and Laos and Malawi have successively set up consulates general in Changsha. With the acceleration of Changsha's high-level opening-up to promote high-quality development, more and more enterprises have begun to "cross the ocean" to explore the world.
The Changsha tax department carefully sorted out the tax treaties with the key destination countries of "going out", tailored the exclusive service of "one enterprise and one policy" for overseas enterprises, and explained the policies face-to-face according to the actual needs of enterprises, which effectively stimulated the independent innovation momentum of "going out" enterprises and empowered the road of technological innovation in various industries.
One enterprise and one policy, efficient and prescribe the right medicine. "Thanks to the Changsha tax department's one-enterprise one-policy service, the communication between tax enterprises is very smooth, and the export tax rebate process is becoming more and more optimized, and now the tax rebate can be received within 3 working days, which is very fast, which greatly improves our capital turnover efficiency and gives us great help for business developmentXiao Yunhong, head of finance of Chutian Technology, praised the "one enterprise, one policy" service of the Changsha tax department as the result of the refined development of tax services.
Truking Technology Global R&D Center.
Truking Technology is a leading enterprise in China's medical equipment industry, with products and technologies covering the whole field of biological drugs, chemical drugs, APIs and Chinese patent medicines, and its highest-speed aseptic packaging technology, intelligent drug detection technology based on machine vision, robot post-packaging technology and three-dimensional warehousing and logistics technology have reached the leading position in China.

The Group's products and services have covered more than 180 countries and regions, and its international market share is increasing rapidly year by year.
In the face of huge R&D expenses, the tax incentives and dividends of the tax department have really reduced the burden on enterprises. "In 2022, we will enjoy more than 56 million yuan of additional deductions for R&D expenses and income tax incentives for high-tech enterprises, and more than 66 million yuan of relevant incentives in 2023. Xiao Yunhong said. It is precisely because of the precise implementation of policy dividends that it has added confidence to the company's research and development.
Truking Technology parts flexible production line.
When Truking Technology acquired Romaco in Germany, the tax department organized the business department to make a special trip to the company to give training and guidance on the precautions related to overseas related party transactionsWhen applying for embedded software tax rebate for the first time, the tax department gave detailed guidance on software pricing, hardware and software accounting and other related precautionsUsually, the tax department will answer the questions raised by Truking Technology in detail, and provide practical advice and guidance.
Xiao Yunhong sighed deeply, "At every step of the development of Chutian Technology, we have deeply felt the professional ability and service enthusiasm of the tax department, and the tax personnel are always able to patiently answer and professionally solve tax-related problems for us in the first time, so that enterprises can focus more on business development and provide customers with better products and services." ”
At present, Changsha export tax rebate has also opened the "acceleration" mode, further simplifying the process, streamlining the information, promoting the whole process of electronic reminders, electronic declarations, electronic returns, electronic invoicing, electronic filing, the implementation of export tax rebate invoices and export declaration form information "no need to fill in", to achieve the export enterprises to declare the customs declaration data and invoice information data automatic synchronization, intelligent distribution.
