From October 18th to 21st, the 21st Yunfu International Stone Technology Exhibition and the 15th Yunfu Stone Culture Week were held, attracting the attention of many people inside and outside the industry.
Yunfu has a long history of stone processing and is known as the “China Stone Capital”. It is the center of China’s stone base, the demonstration base of China’s stone circulation, the capital of China’s artificial stone, and the hometown of China’s folk culture (stone carving) art. After more than 400 years of development and accumulation, the city’s stone industry currently has more than 7,000 market entities and more than 200,000 employees. The industry scale will exceed 34 billion yuan in 2023.
In order to further expand and strengthen the traditional pillar industry of stone, Yunfu has always promoted the transformation of the stone industry to high-end, intelligent and green with greater efforts, more favorable policies and stronger guarantees in recent years.
Behind the continuous innovation and development of stone enterprises, the direct and quick implementation of tax policy dividends has contributed greatly.
“Last year, the company received more than 5 million yuan in export tax refunds (exemptions), more than 7 million yuan in VAT refunds, and nearly 4 million yuan in additional deductions for R&D expenses, allowing us to invest more funds in product development and green transformation.” said a relevant person in charge of Yunfu Zhisheng Stone Co., Ltd.
It is reported that in order to help the majority of stone companies make full use of various tax preferential policies, the Yunfu tax department has continuously improved the “policy to find people” and “remote guidance + door-to-door service” mechanisms, and continued to use policy dividends to accurately and directly help stone companies develop towards “new” development.
