In 2024, Heyuan City is projected to achieve a 5.1% annual growth in the total output value of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishery, with the per capita disposable income of rural residents reaching 23,300 yuan, a 6.5% increase. Characteristic agriculture has become a dynamic force driving rural revitalization in Heyuan, facilitating the refinement of industrial chains and boosting farmers’ incomes. Since last year, the local taxation authorities have actively leveraged fiscal policies to support agricultural enterprises. By creating specialized service brands and providing proactive, tailored guidance, they have helped these businesses address challenges, stabilize operations, and accelerate expansion and upgrading. This approach has laid a solid foundation for high-quality development in agriculture and rural areas.
Stepping into the workshop of Lianping Wangliang Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter "Wangliang Industrial"), products like sweet rice wine peanuts and dried tangerine peel peanuts move along intelligent production lines toward the market. This provincial-level leading agricultural enterprise once grappled with the paradox of "high revenue yet razor-thin profits" eight years ago.
"In our early days, massive capital was sunk into factory construction, and our ignorance about obtaining input tax invoices during peanut procurement caused perpetual mismatches in tax and profit calculations," recalled founder Chen Zhijie. A turning point came during an outreach initiative by local tax authorities. Staff from Heyuan Taxation Bureau’s "Youth Innovation Station" delivered customized one-on-one assistance, cross-analyzing tax filings to precisely target applicable agricultural tax incentives. They guided the company through the entire process of agricultural purchase invoice deductions and implemented a "dual support system"-combining instant video consultations with on-site follow-up visits- to systematically resolve growth bottlenecks.
The "Youth Innovation Station" mentioned by Chen Zhijie is a specialized service initiative launched by local tax authorities to empower young entrepreneurs. Operating on a biweekly cycle, the program dispatches young tax professionals to local industrial parks, government service centers, and youth-led startups to conduct tax policy seminars, provide system operation guidance, and gather stakeholder feedback.With support from the Youth Innovation Station, Wangliang Industrial has secured cumulative tax reductions totaling 430,000 yuan since 2021 through multiple incentive policies. The company has channeled these savings into product R&D and market expansion initiatives.
At the Mountain Spring Bass Breeding Base in Xiache Town, Heping County, tax services are striking chord of rural empowerment. Addressing the aquaculture sector’s seasonal fluctuations and volatile invoicing demands, local tax authorities have implemented a dual service model-combining offline "needs-assessment visits" with online "rapid-response channels"-to help the bass industry chart a course toward prosperity.
“Before the Spring Festival, we were swamped with bass orders but panicked when hitting our invoice quota limit. Just as we were grappling with solutions, step-by-step guidelines for quota expansion popped up in our grid-based tax-service WeChat group,” said Huang Chuanbin, the enterprise’s director. Upon application submission, tax officers delivered a swift response, resolving the urgent issue within hours.
In the intelligent sorting workshop of Zijin Douji Tea Industry, infrared sensors are precisely assessing tea leaves' morphology and chromaticity. "Tax incentive policies have given us the confidence to pursue technological innovation," remarked He Dongbo, the company's director.
Prior to the spring tea harvest, the Youth Tax Task Force conducted advance assessments of the enterprise's operational needs-spanning technological upgrades, equipment maintenance, and plantation management. They curated relevant tax incentives and delivered targeted guidance to resolve production-related fiscal challenges. "To stay competitive in evolving markets, we've been pioneering innovations in tea processing and equipment modernization," He told reporters. "Tax officials not only guided us through fiscal compliance but also trained our staff in mobile tax filing. This streamlined our operations, allowing greater investment in equipment upgrades and core production." The company's premium tea products have gained industry recognition, catalyzing the growth of Zijin County's tea sector.
From peanut value-added processing to eco-friendly bass aquaculture, from intelligent tea production to modern agricultural clusters, Heyuan's tax authorities remain steadfastly focused on the evolving needs of characteristic agricultural industries. Through continuous innovation in service mechanisms, they empower local brands to achieve excellence and strengthen competitiveness, enabling specialty agriculture to forge ahead steadily on the path of high-quality development.
