FYI, I went to the tax office this morning by ticking before on internet ‘no’ at the question ‘Departure during the year without entry again within the end of year 2017’.

It was very fast, all done in 5 min knowing that 2 days ago, the same tax office told me after several phone calls and emails that I have to tick ‘yes’ according to my situation (on vacation abroad the last week of last year and the first week of this year).

Hi @nicoczyck. As I understand, you got the pro-rata based on how many days you stayed in Taiwan? Did you get the same calculation the following year?

I’m trying to understand this rule that many foreigners here are not aware of. I’m trying to improve the tax calculator, and trying to confirm “rumors” that this pro-rata rules exists and is applied. I’d appreciate your help here!
