To promote the high-quality development of our city’s machinery and mold industry and accelerate the creation of a machinery and mold industrial cluster with an output value of 10 billion yuan, these policy measures have been formulated in accordance with our city’s actual conditions.
I. Eligible Entities
(1) Industry Definition. The scope of our city’s machinery and mold industry primarily includes the following sectors as defined in the “2017 National Economic Industry Classification (GB/T 4754—2017)”: general equipment manufacturing, specialized equipment manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, metal products manufacturing, and electrical machinery and equipment manufacturing.
(2) Investment Intensity and Efficiency. Machinery and mold industry projects established in our city must meet the requirements for investment intensity per mu of industrial land, output density, and tax intensity as stipulated in the current guidance standards for industrial project access indicators in our city’s industrial parks.
II. Fiscal Incentives
(1) Land Use Preferences. In accordance with the “Notice of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources on Issuing the <Natural Resources Support Plan for Promoting Orderly Industrial Relocation>” (Yue Ziran Zi Fa [2022] No. 13) andthe “Notice of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Natural Resources on Strengthening Land Security for Key Manufacturing Industries” (Yue Ziran Zi Han [2023] No. 86), land quotas will be guaranteed for advanced manufacturing projects with fixed-asset investments of 100 million yuan or more, an investment intensity of no less than 3 million yuan per mu, and per-mu tax revenue of no less than 150,000 yuan.For individual specific projects in the machinery and mold industries that align with the province’s priority development sectors and demonstrate land-use efficiency, industrial land shall be granted land price concessions in accordance with relevant provincial and municipal regulations, provided that the price does not fall below the current effective benchmark land price, and shall be transferred in accordance with the law.
(2) Fixed Asset Investment Incentives. For machinery and mold industry projects with a total investment of 500 million yuan or more, incentives may be granted at a rate not exceeding 2% of the actual new fixed asset investment. These funds may be used to reduce land or production and operational costs, support R&D investments, construct supporting facilities, provide equipment incentives, subsidize loan interest, offer talent incentives, and fund employee skills training.

(5) Contribution Incentives. Newly established enterprises that commence production shall, starting from the second year of operation, be eligible for a financial incentive equivalent to 0.2% of their annual industrial output value as recorded in the city’s statistics, provided their annual output value reaches 100 million yuan or more and demonstrates year-over-year growth of 50% or higher. A single enterprise may benefit from this policy for a maximum of three years. This policy implements a tiered funding mechanism based on the principle of combining fiscal authority with administrative responsibility, adhering to the “who benefits, who bears the cost” principle.
(6) Innovation Policies. We will implement innovation-driven incentive policies. Municipal and county (district) fiscal authorities will pool funds to promote scientific and technological innovation, providing subsidies to enterprises that participate in and achieve tangible results in advancing our city’s innovation efforts, and supporting enterprises in the machinery and mold industries to establish innovation platforms. For provincial-level enterprise technology centers that pass the evaluation and undertake industrial innovation capacity-building projects, we will actively seek special funding support from the provincial government in accordance with relevant regulations.
(7) Talent Policies.To meet the talent needs for building a 10-billion-yuan-level machinery and mold industry cluster, we will select high-level manufacturing talent in accordance with the "Heyuan City High-Level Talent Plan" (Heyuan Party Committee Office Document [2023] No. 1) and the established evaluation procedures. Selected candidates under the Senior Management Talent Project will receive a subsidy of 120,000 yuan per person, while those under the Senior Professional Technical Talent Project will receive 100,000 yuan per person, disbursed in equal installments over five years.
