Questions
- What tax rate do I put on an invoice in Taiwan?
- The standard rate is 5%, but whether it applies to your sale depends on what you sell, who you sell to and whether you are registered. The invoice tool starts at 5% and lets you change it.
- Are there reduced rates or exemptions in Taiwan?
- Many countries have lower rates or exemptions for some goods and services, and thresholds below which a business does not have to charge the tax. This page gives the standard rate only. Check the source above or ask the local tax authority.
- Why does the invoice not start in my currency?
- The tool does not guess your currency from the country. Choose it in the settings next to the invoice.
