Scientific and technological innovation capability is not only the core of enterprise competitiveness, but also an important embodiment of national competitiveness. In recent years, the state has paid particular attention to the cultivation of technology-based enterprises, and has introduced a series of preferential policies in many tax categories, such as value-added tax and corporate income tax.
To enjoy the preferential tax policies, the first thing is to register a technology company. So, how to register a technology company in Shanghai? What are the conditions for registration? Today, I will give you a detailed introduction.

2. There are legal company names and articles of association. Common names include Shanghai XX Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai XX Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai XX Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai XX Technology Development Co., Ltd., etc. It is suggested to prepare several more names during name verification to improve the passing rate of company name verification;

The business scope of environmental protection technology companies is generally environmental protection technology development, environmental protection engineering, consulting; Design of environmental protection instruments and equipment, purchase and sale of products; Production and sales of environmental protection equipment, water supply and drainage equipment, water treatment equipment and their installation (door-to-door service only), technical services, waste water, waste gas and noise control in the above fields; Environmental impact assessment; Operation of environmental pollution control facilities for domestic sewage and industrial wastewater; Automatic continuous monitoring (water); Enterprise cleaner production consulting services; Operation of environmental pollution control facilities for domestic waste and industrial solid waste.

The registration process of technology companies is the same as that of ordinary companies. It's all about name verification → submission of materials → obtaining of certificates → engraving of seals. Next, let's take a look at the preferential tax policies that technology companies can enjoy.
First, technology companies that are small-scale VAT taxpayers can enjoy the preferential policy of VAT exemption for monthly sales of less than 100000 yuan (quarterly sales of less than 300000 yuan). For high-tech enterprises, they can enjoy preferential policies such as enterprise income tax at a reduced rate of 15%, additional deduction of R&D expenses, accelerated depreciation of fixed assets, etc. And those engaged in technology transfer, technology development and related technical consultation and technical services can also enjoy the VAT exemption policy.
Precautions for registration:
It should be noted that if a foreign-funded technology company is engaged in product sales business, it needs to separate product wholesale and retail in the company's business scope, because foreign-funded companies need to be approved before they can engage in product retail business. If the company is engaged in import and export business, it is also required to list the import or export product catalogue in detail.
