Shenzhen Releases Typical Tax Compliance Cases for the Embodied AI Sector

The Shenzhen tax bureau recently issued its first batch of typical tax compliance cases for the embodied intelligence industry. With more than 70,000 robotics-related firms in the city and core AI and robotics revenue of nearly 270 billion yuan in 2025, the sector is growing fast, making solid tax compliance a key issue. Four companies feature in the batch. Today International Intelligent Robotics, which makes logistics robots, built a research expense management hub that links work-hour and attendance data and allocates shared materials by hours, keeping accounts, statements and vouchers consistent; it declared 20.03 million yuan in taxes in 2025 and claimed 20.28 million yuan in additional R&D deductions. Zhaowei Machinery, a dexterous-hand maker, launched a consumption and expense platform that folds invoice verification, expense review and tax accounting into one process, automatically checking over 46,000 invoices and blocking more than 300 non-compliant ones. Shengshi Technology set up four layers of oversight covering daily finance, independent internal audit, professional audit committee review and external audit, requiring contract, goods, capital and invoice flows to align before revenue is recognised. Zhongqing Robotics, founded in 2023, embedded tax compliance in its core controls from the start, with finance, R&D, legal and business teams forming a joint risk task force.
