The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), the country's top economic planner, released a list of key software enterprises of national layout compositions in 2010 on Thursday. If the enterprises on the list have not enjoyed a favorable corporate income tax rate lower than 10 percent in 2010, they will be taxed at 10 percent, the Shanghai Securities News reported Friday.
About 20 enterprises were added to the list compared to 2009, the report said.
According to a batch of policies released by the State Council earlier, for those eligible software enterprises, the corporate income tax will be exempt for the next two years and be reduced by half in subsequent years, the newspaper said. This policy is regarded as beneficial to small and medium-sized software start-ups.
