- Taiwan’s Ministry of Finance clarified that sales of virtual assets used for payment or investment, including cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, are exempt from business tax.
- Transfers of payment instruments/tools used for investment or value preservation are not treated as consumption and are therefore not subject to business tax.
- Service fees and commissions charged by virtual asset service providers for exchange and related services remain subject to business tax.
- NFTs are not classified as virtual assets under the Virtual Asset Service Act, so NFT sales and their use in exchanges for goods or services remain subject to business tax.
