First, from the policy point of view.
In recent years, with the help of economic development, technological progress and relaxed innovation and entrepreneurship policies, the number of high-tech enterprises has increased rapidly.
There are more and more high-tech enterprises. There is no doubt that the high-level certification policy will be gradually tightened and the certification threshold will be gradually improved.
Second, in terms of enterprise benefits.
1. Tax incentives
Through high certification, you can enjoy the preferential tax rate of 15% in the current year. Preferential tax policies, especially for early-growing enterprises, have also played a greater role.
2. Determine subsidies
To become a high-tech enterprise, you can apply for government subsidies. In other words, it is possible to earn extra money by applying for high-tech enterprises at present.
With the increase of high-tech enterprises and the tightening of policies, imagine that subsidies are always given? When there is no subsidy suddenly, you have to spend your own money to identify it, and it will be more difficult to tighten the policy.
Therefore, generally, after the high-level certification in that year, the preparatory work for the high-level certification in the next year will begin, with early preparation, early planning and early project establishment.
What are the preliminary preparations identified by the top management?
First of all, sort out the situation of intellectual property rights
If you want to declare a high-grade enterprise in 20 19 years, you should comprehensively sort out the current intellectual property status of the enterprise. If the intellectual property status is not up to standard, you should make use of the existing intellectual property that meets the application conditions in time, check for leaks and make arrangements in advance.
Note: the general cycle of invention patents is about 2 years, or even longer; It takes about 7- 14 months to apply for and obtain a patent for utility model; Software copyright registration takes about 2-3 months. The score of invention patent is higher than that of utility model patent or software copyright. If you can declare an invention, try to apply for an invention patent.
According to the "Guidelines for the Management of High-tech Enterprises", the evaluation of high-tech enterprises adopts a scoring system, in which the core independent intellectual property rights are the primary indicators, accounting for 30 points, which is no longer just a lot of situations where high scores can be obtained. Now we should ensure the existence of quality while ensuring quantity, which is manifested in the types of intellectual property rights, the degree of correlation with products and the advanced technology.
Second, collect financial expenses in advance and establish a financial system for science and technology.
The scope of R&D expenses collection is clearly defined in the Guidelines for the Identification of High Enterprises: personnel labor expenses, direct input expenses, depreciation expenses and long-term deferred expenses, intangible assets amortization expenses, design expenses, equipment debugging expenses and test expenses, commissioned external research and development expenses and other expenses. At the same time, it is clearly pointed out that enterprises should allocate R&D expenses to specific R&D projects separately.
However, if the enterprise did not list the R&D expenses in the project in the early stage, or even charged the R&D expenses separately in the account, it will inevitably lead the financial personnel of the enterprise to temporarily collect and identify the R&D expenses item by item according to the requirements of the Guidelines when reporting the high accreditation. A lot of work, sometimes even useless. Therefore, it is very important to collect financial expenses in advance.
In addition, the confirmation conditions also require that the proportion of the total R&D expenses to the total sales revenue of the enterprise meets the requirements. Therefore, it is very important for enterprises to set up special account management for each R&D project in the early stage, form a standardized scientific and technological financial management system, and establish and improve the scientific and technological financial risk assessment system. Without the corresponding financial system framework, it is difficult to prove that the enterprise is developing healthily and rapidly, which will naturally increase the difficulty and risk of applying for funds for scientific research projects.
Third, establish a reasonable human resources system in advance.
Qualification requirements require that R&D personnel should account for more than 65,438+00% of the total number of employees in the enterprise in that year, which requires the enterprise to establish a human resources system, plan the human resources of the enterprise, and meet the development needs of the company and employees through professional and systematic human resources services.
Fourth, do a good job in transforming scientific and technological achievements in advance.
Scientific and technological achievements refer to achievements with practical value produced through scientific research and technological development. Major achievements generally include hardware, software, processes, methods and services, while minor achievements generally include standards, patents, papers, drawings, works and reports. The achievement of scientific and technological transformation is another high score item in the condition of high recognition. So doing this well can directly improve the success rate of high recognition.
Therefore, enterprises should do a good job in project planning and positioning, do a good job in project evaluation, attach importance to project management, and establish system guarantee to control risks; At the same time, we can break through technical problems with the help of external forces, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements of enterprises, and get high marks in the scoring.
Five, the timely establishment of research and development institutions, standardize the organization and management.
The Guide to the Identification of High-tech Enterprises points out that the evaluation system of enterprise innovation ability accounts for 20% of the evaluation of R&D organization and management level, which requires enterprises to clearly standardize the R&D process, the implementation of management system and the embodiment of incentive policies in the daily R&D process.
There are many materials formed by enterprises in technological innovation activities, some of which are proof of achievements, such as intellectual property certificates; License contract, production approval, new product or new technology certification materials, product quality inspection report; Some materials can be used to verify the process, such as the notice of the establishment of science and technology plans at or above the provincial level, the agreement of entrusting scientific research, and the opinions of industry experts on the R&D work review meeting.
