Also, I read that Taiwan tax is territorial. If I was in Taiwan for 8 months out of the year, would my taxable income be prorated to account for the 4 months that I wasn’t in Taiwan so that I’m only paying Taiwan tax on 66% of my annual income?
I’m not 100% sure (maybe 70% sure - it still seems weird to me), but my understanding based on the tax software and talking to a tax office clerk is that this would be the case.
Some recent discussion of this from this post onward:
The online filing software automatically adjusted my overseas salary income (category 5F) for the days I’ve physically been in Taiwan.
I.e. if you make 1 million, but only stay 300/365 days, you only need to pay tax on 822k.
They will also accordingly adjust the exemption accordingly.
I would assume it works like that for non-salary income accordingly. You might even be able to provide proof about specific income items - bit I’d assume that the simple distribution by days should be more bene…
