High-Tech Enterprise Certification: First Batch Deadline June 25

High-Tech Enterprise Certification: First Batch Deadline June 25

The application process for Shijiazhuang's 2026 High-Tech Enterprise Certification has officially started. The first batch for evaluation closes on June 25, 2026. Subsequent batches will follow, with the Shijiazhuang Municipal Science and Technology Bureau accepting applications until 17:00 on September 24, 2026. HITECH certification directly provides benefits including a reduced corporate income tax rate of 15% and an increased R&D expense super-deduction ratio, making it one of the most valuable technology-related qualifications at the enterprise level. Applications require submission of both electronic and paper versions. Electronic submissions are made through the National High-Tech Enterprise Certification Management Work Network at innocom.gov.cn; paper materials must be printed and bound in accordance with the notice requirements. HITECH certification application periods are typically synchronized across multiple regions in China. For those intending to apply, material preparation remains feasible at this time.
