Zigong in Sichuan treats AI as its top innovation programme, and the tax bureau built three supports around it: help claiming incentives, easier filing and a compliance floor. A dedicated AI tax advisory team turned policies into plain-language sheets and explained in person how high-tech and software VAT refund rules apply. UBTECH's Zigong subsidiary lawfully enjoyed nearly 70,000 yuan of benefits last year; Baidu Apollo's AI data base has booked over 180 million yuan in revenue, created 670 local jobs and incubated ten upstream and downstream firms. Service runs full-cycle: a starter card at registration, per-firm files and dynamic policy pushes during growth, big-data alerts when problems appear. On compliance, the bureau regularly uses tax data for health checks, watching invoicing and filing issues in cross-region operations and supply chains. Zigong has opened 55 AI application scenarios and runs close to 100 unmanned delivery vehicles.
