- Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance issued new VAT guidelines for online influencers, treating their revenue-sharing income as taxable business activity.
- Influencers must register for VAT if annual income exceeds TWD 100,000 (goods) or TWD 50,000 (services), with thresholds increased as of January 1, 2025.
- Taxation depends on where the viewers (consumers) are located, not just the influencer-platform contract.
- A guidance period runs from September 10, 2025, to June 30, 2026, with returns and payments due by July 15, 2026.
- Influencers are encouraged to voluntarily declare and pay taxes if any non-compliance is discovered.
