On June 29, 2002, the National People's Congress passed the Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on the Promotion of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, which was officially implemented on June 65438+ 10/day, 2003. On February 19 of the same year, the National Development and Reform Commission officially promulgated the Classification Standard for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. According to the different characteristics of different industries, the number of employees, sales and total assets are used as the dividing standards.
The differences in industries also bring great differences to the classification standards of small and medium-sized enterprises. For industrial enterprises (usually including mining, manufacturing, electricity, gas and water production and supply) and construction, there are requirements for total assets, but there are no requirements for retail, wholesale, transportation, postal services, accommodation and other industries.
In terms of sales/turnover, except for the retail industry and the accommodation and catering industry, the annual turnover is 654.38+0.5 billion yuan as the upper limit of small and medium-sized enterprises, and all others are bounded by 300 million yuan. The difference in personnel boundaries is even greater. Industrial enterprises, construction enterprises and transportation are usually labor-intensive, so there are more employees, so they are divided into 2,000 and 3,000 respectively. For retail, wholesale, postal services, accommodation and catering industries, although they are also labor-intensive compared with high-tech enterprises, the standards for the number of employees are obviously smaller than those of the above industries, construction and transportation.
It is also worth noting that small and medium-sized enterprises are actually a general term for medium-sized enterprises and small enterprises. Except for the retail industry, all other industries take the annual turnover/sales of 30 million as the lower limit of medium-sized enterprises, and the retail industry is 654.38+million yuan.
