- Taiwan’s cloud invoice system, implemented since 2009, now covers over 630,000 businesses and 87% of all invoices are electronic.
- The Ministry of Finance uses e-invoice data to compile timely and representative same-store sales indicators, especially useful during events like the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Same-store sales indicators measure sales changes in stores open for at least a year, providing a clearer picture of existing store performance by excluding new openings and closures.
- Internationally, official same-store sales statistics are rare, with Japan as an exception; in most countries, such indicators are produced by private companies and used by major retail chains.
- The study refines methods for compiling these indicators in Taiwan, adjusting for outliers and aligning with international practices to better track industry trends and economic cycles.
