Zhaoqing has attracted a growing cluster of artificial intelligence companies, and the local tax authority has moved its services forward to the moment these firms land. For the AI robotics project of Wuxian Juhe Intelligent Technology in Zhaoqing, which makes composite robots, sorting robots, dexterous hands and intelligent control units, tax officials formed a service team for growing enterprises that gives one-to-one policy briefings, e-tax bureau operation guidance and tax risk alerts, with particular attention to how R&D spending is aggregated and how invoices are managed. The company booked more than 6 million yuan of revenue within three months of starting production. Another firm, Hongshi Intelligent, runs AI vision cloud services, selling 19 million cameras a year, handling over 400 million alarm images daily and providing nearly 190 billion tokens of computing services a month, with cross-border digital service revenue above 20 million US dollars. The tax authority built a dedicated plan covering export tax rebates, R&D super-deductions and high-tech income tax incentives; the company enjoyed 25.88 million yuan of R&D super-deductions in three years, and its A-level tax credit helped it sign over 38 million yuan of orders in 2026.
