Hey everyone,
Quick question regarding taxes. I’m just wondering how much is taken out every month’s paycheck. Is it 5%? Or is it 18% and then I’m given the difference back come tax filing time?
This pertains to this year (2018) in which I will be in Taiwan for longer than the 183 days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Short answer: for the first six months of any calendar year, your employer can choose to sting you with the non-resident rate (18%).
Long answer: we have many threads on this.
Thank you. Do you know if that 18% sting is still refundable though come tax filing time?
And I will do some more digging. Thanks!
Yes, you can get a refund of the overpayment if you turn out to be present for 183 days in the year.
Wonderful. Thanks so much for clearing that up!
