A public report released by the Shanghai tax authority on August 18 says tax officials are closely following AI-industry development and helping companies advance innovation and compliance together through more refined tax services. The article notes that, with guidance from tax and science authorities, companies completed professional assessments for high-risk R&D projects to reduce risks around expense collection, ownership, and related transactions. It also says AI hardware companies expanding globally were guided to build separate ledgers and accounting mechanisms for R&D spending so R&D and production costs can be clearly distinguished. The case shows tax informatization services moving beyond policy Q&A into deeper support for R&D management, cost governance, and risk control.
