Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Headquarters Economy Office Occupancy Support A headquarter enterprise newly relocated to Dongguan, if purchases or rents office buildings, will be subsidized depending on its financial contribution to the local. For purchase of office buildings, a lump sum of subsidy equivalent to 5% of the total purchase price, with a maximum not exceeding 10 million Chinese yuan, will be given. For lease of office buildings, every year a subsidy equivalent to 50% of the lease contract amount, with a maximum not exceeding 2 million Chinese yuan, will be given, but such rent subsidy is only valid for 3 consecutive years at most. Lease (or sub-lease), sale or change of purpose of such office occupancy is not allowed. Support to Talents Talent incentive mechanism will be established. Senior executives of a headquarter enterprise will be rewarded in full their individual income tax payment for income from wages and salaries and the local retention part of their individual income tax payment for sci-tech achievement transformation. A senior executive without his/her own residency, will be given monetary subsidy depending on the headquarter enterprise’s financial contribution to the local. To be more specific, a senior executive will be subsidized with 50% of the purchase price (but only 10 senior executives at most of an enterprise can enjoy such entitlement), with a maximum not exceeding 2 million Chinese yuan, if he/she buys a residency, or with 3 thousand Chinese yuan every month, with such rent subsidy lasting not more than 3 years, if he/she rents a residency. In addition, the children of a senior executive will be directly arranged to attend the first-class public elementary and secondary schools at municipal or higher level and offered free compulsory education. Development Financing Support A headquarter enterprise will be given interest subsidies depending on its financial contribution to the local. For working capital loans newly increased in last year, a subsidy equivalent to 30% of the amount of interests calculated at LPR, with a maximum not exceeding 3 million Chinese yuan, will be given. A headquarter enterprise planning to be listed will be directly given financing incentive. A headquarter enterprise seeking financing by IPO on a major stock market either at home or abroad will be rewarded 0.5% of the funds raised, with a maximum not exceeding 8 million Chinese yuan. A non-listed headquarter enterprise, if successfully issues direct debt financing instruments (corporate bonds, debentures, asset securitization, short-term financing bonds, medium-term notes, etc.), will be given interest subsidies equivalent to 2% of the financed amount, up to an aggregate amount of 1 million Chinese yuan. Special Supportive Measures for Major and Large Projects For an introduced major or large project that plays a significant supporting role in Dongguan’s economic and social development, special supportive measures will be studied and formulated in view of individualized demands and on a case-by-case basis. |
