第一章 财政专项资金的内容及计算方法
第一条 对认定的高新技术成果转化项目，自认定之日起三年内，上缴的营业税、企业所得税、增值税的地方收入部分由财政安排专项资金支持，之后两年减半支持。经认定的重大高新技术成果转化项目，自认定之日起五年内上缴的营业税、企业所得税、增值税地方收入部分由财政安排专项资金支持，之后三年减半支持。上述财政安排的专项资金，80%用于相关企业的技术创新，20%纳入技术创新资金集中使用。
计算公式为：前三年或前五年企业应得到的支持资金＝[（实际入库企业所得税－期初欠交额）×地方分享比例＋（实际入库营业税－期初欠交额）＋（实际入库增值税－期初欠交额）×25%]×（高新技术成果转化项目销售收入／全部收入）×80%；之后两年和三年企业应得到的支持资金＝[（实际入库企业所得税－期初欠交额）×地方分享比例＋（实际入库营业税－期初欠交额）＋（实际入库增值税一期初欠交额）×25%]×（高新技术成果转化项目销售收入／全部收入）×80%／2。
