Taiwan Clarifies Zero Business Tax Rate Nonapplication for Import Facilitation Services and Compliance Requirements

  • Zero business tax rate does not apply to commissions and service charges for facilitating imports from nonresident suppliers
  • Zero rate is not applicable if services are used within Taiwan and the purchasing business is outside a bonded area and unrelated to export services
  • Businesses facilitating imports must issue taxable invoices and pay business tax
  • Incorrectly reporting taxable sales as zero rate requires filing a correction and paying overdue taxes to avoid penalties
  • An example is provided to illustrate the application of these rules
