- Taiwan’s tax authority says franchise headquarters must issue uniform invoices for franchise fees and report/pay VAT.
- A one-time franchise fee for opening a store is treated as payment for services; if it also covers equipment, tools, or raw materials, it is treated as both goods and services.
- If franchisors provide brand licensing, training, and also supply goods, the whole fee must be properly invoiced to the franchisee.
- Businesses that failed to invoice or report revenue may correct voluntarily before an audit or third-party report to avoid penalties, though interest still applies.
