Kaihua county in Zhejiang is pushing manufacturing digital transformation, where companies commonly worry about being unable, unwilling or short of money to change. The local tax bureau set up a digital transformation service team that screens eligible firms through platform data and pushes high-tech enterprise income tax breaks, R&D expense deductions and accelerated depreciation straight to them. A smart factory project at a local synthetic materials company entered Zhejiang's manufacturing digital transformation demonstration library, applying big data analytics and IoT to real-time production monitoring and quality traceability, with over 64.8 million yuan in R&D deductions in three years. Another firm making rare-earth permanent magnet materials was guided on booking joint R&D spending with a Chinese Academy of Sciences institute and became a national high-tech enterprise in 2024, growing revenue seventy-fold in three years. Big-data monitoring of R&D booking and deduction filings flagged deviations at one company, which were corrected after an on-site review, avoiding losses of several hundred thousand yuan.
