To further leverage the role of taxation and support the high-quality development of the city’s key “985” industrial chains and specialized towns, on May 6, coinciding with the launch of the 32nd Tax Publicity Month, the “Smart Tax Empowers, ‘Hydrogen’ Powers Ahead”—“Tax Benefits for Hydrogen Energy” special initiative was officially inaugurated at Pengfei Group’s headquarters. The event was hosted by the Lüliang Municipal Tax Service Bureau and co-organized by the Xiaoyi Municipal Tax Service Bureau and Pengfei Group.

Wang Shaofeng, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Lüliang Municipal Tax Service Bureau; Zhang Cuizhen, Member of the Standing Committee of the Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee and Executive Deputy Mayor; Huang Haiwen, Member of the Party Committee and Chief Economist of the Lüliang Municipal Tax Service Bureau; Wang Xiaojun, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the Xiaoyi Municipal Tax Service Bureau; leaders from relevant municipal (county- and district-level) tax service bureaus; Zheng Peng, Chairman of the Board and President of Pengfei Group; representatives of leading enterprises in Lüliang’s hydrogen energy industrial chain; as well as nearly 200 tax officials and business representatives, attended the event.

Wang Shaofeng pointed out that the Lüliang Municipal Tax Service Bureau attaches great importance to the development of “chain‑leading” enterprises and specialized towns. Leveraging the 32nd National Tax Publicity Month as a driving force, the bureau, in collaboration with relevant municipal departments, launched the “Tax Benefits for Lüliang” series of initiatives. These measures include the comprehensive implementation of pragmatic programs such as the “Tax Butler Service ‘985’,” the “Lüliang Taxation ‘Town’ Revitalization Plan,” and the “‘Tax‑Bank‑Electricity’ Precision Services,” thereby demonstrating the tax authorities’ commitment to supporting the high‑quality development of Lüliang’s key “985” industrial chains and specialized towns. In addition, the bureau has pioneered customized tax services for large enterprises and introduced the “Tax Benefits for Hydrogen Energy” special campaign— an integral part of the “Tax Benefits for Lüliang” series— to harness the power of taxation and help Lüliang establish itself as a new hub for hydrogen‑energy industry development.

Zhang Cuizhen hopes that more entrepreneurs will come to Xiaoyi to jointly build a national demonstration zone for the hydrogen energy industry—one with the most complete industrial chain and the highest level of technological advancement. The Xiaoyi Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government will provide the strongest policy support, work tirelessly to foster a business environment that is market‑oriented, internationally competitive, and underpinned by sound rule of law, and make every effort to establish Xiaoyi as a provincial-level specialized town renowned for its hydrogen energy sector, striving to develop it into a first‑class national hydrogen energy industry base.

Focusing on further addressing taxpayers’ pressing concerns and improving service efficiency, the Lüliang Municipal Tax Service Bureau is fully implementing the “Tax Benefits for Hydrogen Energy” special initiative to elevate taxpayer‑friendly services. Through a live‑streamed video link, Wang Xiaojun unveiled and officially put into operation Pengfei Group’s self‑service ticket‑issuing kiosks and the hydrogen‑energy‑dedicated service counters in the tax service hall.

Zheng Peng delivered a speech as the taxpayer representative. He began by extending a warm welcome, on behalf of the Shanxi Hydrogen Energy Industry Alliance and Pengfei Group, to all the leaders and guests attending the launch ceremony. He noted that, as the leading enterprise spanning the entire hydrogen energy value chain, Pengfei has received strong attention and support from the Shanxi Provincial State Taxation Administration. Thanks to the targeted policies and proactive measures implemented by the Lüliang Municipal Taxation Bureau and the Xiaoyi Municipal Taxation Bureau, the “Tax Benefits for Hydrogen Energy” special initiative has been launched, providing robust impetus to the rapid development of the hydrogen energy sector. Pengfei is committed to fully implementing the spirit of the instructions delivered by Secretary Lan Fo’an of the Provincial Party Committee during his inspection tour in Lüliang, accelerating the progress of ongoing projects, actively expanding the range of hydrogen‑energy application scenarios, seizing the initiative in the burgeoning “blue ocean” of hydrogen energy, and speeding up its growth. By leveraging hydrogen as both a medium and a core driver, Pengfei aims to inject new momentum into the province’s high‑quality development and modernization efforts.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, the attending leaders and corporate representatives took to the stage together to activate the “Smart Tax Customization” service, jointly illuminating a bright future for the high-quality development of the hydrogen energy industry.
