Shanghai tax authorities build a tailored service team for AI enterprises

A Shanghai tax report on technology-industry performance says tax data show continued growth in local research and technical services as well as in core digital-economy sectors. To serve AI enterprises, tax authorities have created an AI-focused service team that uses face-to-face discussions and other channels to guide companies in strengthening tax-risk control and enjoying policy support in a compliant way. Using companies such as MiniMax as examples, the report suggests that local tax services are moving beyond generic policy counseling toward more customized support for AI enterprises, combining support for innovation and scenario deployment with stronger compliance expectations. For the tax-informatization sector, this indicates that local tax authorities are beginning to build more refined service tiers and risk-reminder mechanisms around the AI industry.
