Doing Business in Taiwan

Doing Business in Taiwan is an introductory guide for companies doing business or looking to invest in Taiwan.

With the progressive warming of relations between Taiwan and China, the international business community is taking a fresh look at Taiwan both as an investment destination and as a springboard to the world’s second largest economy.

Continued deregulation and streamlined procedures for setting up operations, along with improved intellectual property rights protection and a cut in the corporate tax rate to 17% (one of the lowest in Asia), have also contributed to making Taiwan a very attractive place for business investment.

The guide, published in April 2011, answers many of the questions facing prospective foreign investors and is also a good starting point for companies and individuals looking to conduct business in Taiwan.

Subjects covered include:

  • Investment environment
  • Setting up and investing in Taiwan
  • Human resources
  • Accounting and audit
  • Business taxation
  • Personal taxation
  • Other taxes

To keep abreast of more recent tax developments in Taiwan, PwC also produces a monthly tax update, which is available to download on the Taiwan Tax Updates webpage.
