Article 1  These Provisions are formulated to further advance the strategy of strengthening the district through industry and the “Ten Major Demonstration Initiatives,” to encourage various investment entities to establish businesses in our district, to promote high-quality economic development in Zengdu, and to build the “Suizhou Quality Demonstration Zone.” They are established in accordance with laws, regulations, and relevant provincial and municipal policies, and in light of the actual conditions of our district.

Article 2. The term “project” as used in these Regulations primarily refers to industrial projects invested in and established by various investment entities within the Zengdu Economic Development Zone. For projects located in industrial parks within towns and subdistricts, local authorities may independently determine preferential policies in accordance with the spirit of these Regulations. Preferential policies for particularly significant investment projects in other sectors, such as cultural tourism, modern agriculture, modern services, and e-commerce, shall be determined and implemented separately. The term “investment” as used in these Regulations primarily refers to fixed-asset investment.

Article 3: Investors are encouraged to invest in projects that comply with national industrial policies, such as those in the emergency response industry, modern agriculture, and electronic information. Priority shall be given to advanced equipment manufacturing, specialized vehicle and parts manufacturing with independent intellectual property rights, deep processing of agricultural products, electronic information, and strategic emerging industries. High-quality projects characterized by “four highs”—high investment intensity, high output efficiency, high technological content, and high industrial interconnectivity—are encouraged to establish operations here.

Article 4: The “flying land” economic model is encouraged and supported. The local government, subdistrict office, or management committee (hereinafter referred to as the “local authority”) of the project’s location or beneficiary area shall enter into an investment agreement with the investor within the framework of these provisions. The terms of the agreement must comply with relevant national laws and regulations regarding industry, environmental protection, land use, planning, construction, taxation, and other related matters, as well as relevant local regulations.

Article 5. Projects must meet the following criteria:

(1) For projects with fixed-asset investment of less than 100 million yuan (referring solely to investments in buildings, equipment, and infrastructure; the investment amount shall be verified by the enterprise providing corresponding construction expenditure vouchers and confirmed by a third-party appraisal agency, as applicable hereinafter), construction and production must commence within 12 months from the date the project land is acquired and construction begins. For projects with fixed-asset investment of 100 million yuan or more, construction and production must commence within 24 months;

(2) The actual fixed-asset investment intensity must be no less than 1 million yuan per mu.

(3) After reaching full production capacity, the annual tax revenue per mu shall not be less than 100,000 yuan (this requirement may be relaxed to 50,000 yuan for the special-purpose vehicle and parts industry).

Article 6: The following projects shall be subject to preferential policies on a case-by-case basis:

(1) High-quality industrial projects meeting the “Four Highs” criteria;

(2) Major industrial projects invested in by specific entities such as Fortune Global 500 companies, China’s Top 500 companies, or listed companies;

(3) Other high-quality projects requiring preferential policies to be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Preferential policies for “case-by-case” projects are not subject to the restrictions of this document and shall be implemented in accordance with investment agreements.

Article 7: A land price system for industrial park zones shall be established. Priority shall be given to securing land for key projects and strategic emerging industry projects. Upon meeting the investment targets specified in the agreement and after the enterprise pays its first installment of production and operation taxes following the commencement of operations, the enterprise shall be granted a one-time infrastructure construction subsidy equal to the portion of the actual land transfer fee paid that exceeds the zone’s land price. The zone’s land price shall be determined by the district government and published periodically.

Article 8: Investors may independently select qualified third-party institutions to handle project appraisal, evaluation, and other related services. For projects with an investment of no less than 30 million yuan, a 30% subsidy will be provided for intermediary service expenses related to the following four items: environmental impact assessment (limited to the environmental impact report and collection of environmental status data), safety assessment, energy conservation assessment, and fire protection facility inspection.

Article 9: The leasing of idle factory buildings within the zone for the establishment of industrial enterprises is encouraged. For projects that lease factory buildings and achieve the annual tax contribution specified in the investment agreement (with an annual tax payment of no less than 200 yuan per square meter), a subsidy equal to 100% of the rent will be provided for the first three years, and a subsidy equal to 50% of the rent will be provided for the fourth and fifth years. The factory building lease contract must be submitted to the local authorities for approval prior to the signing of the investment agreement.

Article 10. Projects with fixed-asset investments of no less than 100 million yuan, or strategic emerging industry projects with fixed-asset investments of no less than 50 million yuan, shall be granted a fixed-asset investment subsidy of up to 50 million yuan, calculated at 3% of the actual investment.

Article 11: For enterprises that meet the annual tax payment targets specified in the agreement, 100% of the local portion of corporate income tax and value-added tax will be rebated to the enterprise for the first three years following the commencement of production, and 50% will be rebated for the fourth and fifth years.

Article 12: For particularly high-quality investment projects, interest subsidies of up to 40% (inclusive) may be provided on corporate loans used for project construction, based on actual circumstances. For corporate loan guarantee services that meet subsidy criteria, guarantee fee subsidies of up to 40% (inclusive) shall be provided.

Article 13. Enterprises are encouraged to attract investment through business referrals. For enterprises that provide significant investment leads, assist in attracting, or directly attract major projects that comply with relevant policies and invest in accordance with the agreement, the relevant functional departments shall give priority consideration when these enterprises apply for various project subsidy funds.

Article 14: Local enterprises that undertake capital increases or expansion beyond their original investment agreements, or cases where external capital acquires, merges with, or invests in local enterprises to launch new projects (excluding technical upgrades and capacity expansion), may enjoy corresponding preferential policies if they meet the conditions set forth in these regulations.

Article 15: Project approval procedures shall be handled by designated personnel from the relevant departments, with a time limit for completion. For key projects, a dedicated task force led by district-level leaders shall be established to coordinate and resolve difficulties and issues encountered during construction; major and complex issues shall be addressed through special on-site meetings convened by the District Party Committee and District Government. Projects with an investment of no less than 100 million yuan shall be given priority when applying for various national, provincial, and municipal project guidance and support funds.

Article 16. The Zengdu District Investment Promotion Service Center shall be responsible for interpreting these provisions, which shall take effect on the date of issuance and remain valid for five years. Where previous district-level regulations conflict with these provisions, these provisions shall prevail. For investment agreements already signed under the original policy framework and still within the preferential policy period, the original agreements shall continue to apply.
