APRC For Entrepreneur / Freelancer

@qwert_zuiop

I think there are quite some people in a similar situation as you in the Gold Card thread who successfully converted to a APRC having only freelance income

Ah, found it:

@Andrew

I just called the Taipei immigration office to check about this. The first person didn’t know and gave me the number for her supervisor.

He said that the tax codes included are 50 (Taiwan salary/wages), 5F (overseas salary/wages), 9A (professional practice income), and 9B (gaofei). (He actually wasn’t sure about 9B and needed to go check with someone else, so hopefully that’s correct!)

So you should be fine just using your freelance income.
Just make sure to use the “correct” code when filing taxes (online filing will should allow you to check this yourself - otherwise, make sure the tax bureau employees / volunteers use the right one!).
