Taipei Tax Bureau: Cloud Invoices with Sales Tax for Purchasing Electronic Services from Overseas E-commerce

  • Taiwanese individuals purchasing electronic services from foreign businesses without a fixed place of business in Taiwan should obtain cloud invoices that include sales tax.
  • The cloud invoices should be stored in the consumer’s email inbox, and if the invoice is a winning ticket, the Ministry of Finance’s electronic invoice platform will send a notification with a one-time password.
  • Consumers can then use the password to print the winning invoice at a multimedia kiosk in convenience stores or claim the prize at designated physical locations.
  • Alternatively, consumers can use the “Ministry of Finance Unified Invoice Redemption App” on their mobile phones to receive the prize money directly into their designated bank accounts.
  • The Ministry of Finance urges consumers to provide the correct email address when purchasing electronic services from foreign businesses to avoid missing out on winning prizes.
