Taiwan Offers Reduced Fines for Early Tax Payment on False Import Declarations

• Taiwan’s Customs Administration allows reduced penalties for false import declarations if taxes are paid or secured before penalties are confirmed.
• The policy covers misreporting of goods’ details or submitting forged/inaccurate invoices.
• Example: Penalty for tax evasion can be reduced from 3x to 2.5x the evaded tax if settled early.
• Reduced penalties also apply if goods are re-exported or voluntarily abandoned before release.
• Nearly 60% of cases from 2023–Oct 2025 used the reduced penalty, and appeal rights remain unaffected.
