He will pay 5% tax. If he has paid more then he will get refund
Any taxes withheld shown on the salary slip?
Just bring it to the tax office - they will help you filing.
According to the online calculator, it should be only roughly 2% for his income. If he was correctly withheld at 5%, heâll get a refund!
Should be clear here â youâre talking about tax withholding not paid tax.
Edit: Actually, no, youâre talking about the minimum tax rate on taxable income, not what theyâll actually pay. Theyâd have to earn a lot more than what theyâre actually earning before their actual tax rate would be anything close to 5%.
And according to another post, they havenât had any tax withheld by their employer so far.
just give me 10 min i will post my salary slip, you all can suggest me according to that.
The question is what the tax authorities would do in this case.
It shouldnât be him owing the tax then but his employer. But Taiwan being Taiwan, I could be imagine the tax office would just charge him the outstanding tax and telling him to talk to his employer for getting back the money that they should have withheldâŠ
Yeah, I donât know either. Iâm not sure under what circumstances employers are allowed to not withhold tax (I thought it was mandatory), but it doesnât seem that uncommon.
Iâve heard a couple of people mention that their employers donât withhold anything and just let the employees deal with it themselves the following year. I would also expect the tax office to just charge the individual.
The danger of course for the company being if the employee leaves Taiwan without paying, then theyâll need to pay.

Do you know what âother deductionsâ (ć ¶ä»æžé ) is, the 3000 one?
You might want to black out your personal info (name, company name, and employee number). You should be able to edit your post and replace the image.
Yes, we pay as a house rent to company as they provided us a single room
Oh yeah, I remember you mentioned the rent in the other thread.
I havenât checked the calculation of labor insurance and NHI (maybe someone else knows/wants to), but I donât see any obvious additional issues if you really took out the loan and stuff.
Weâve already talked about the meal allowance in the other thread and whether that should be included in the calculation of the deductions, so those things still need resolving, but what exactly is unclear? They havenât withheld income taxes, so youâre still liable for that.
You should just be able to edit the post yourself to replace the picture. Itâs the pen button at the bottom.
hahahaha! they have your 18%, they owe you 12% back. so, no, they donât care if you leave. theyâre happy to keep your tax return (the amount that you overpaid every month)
And they pay 8000 in the middle of the month as a advance.
that 18% deducted i already have my 12% refund last year.
Common misconception, but itâs way more than 12%! Like 15.5% for a monthly salary of 70k and no dependents. As in, if employers were calculating it fairly, the expected average tax rate over the year would be around 2.5%, so they should really be withholding something close to that.
(Unless someone is leaving in the first half of a year, when thatâs the actual tax rate.)
what i do not understand is,
1st - they should provide me bilingual salary slip on a company letter head or with stamp.
2nd- 2400 withholding what is that?
3rd- 2400 food allowances suppose to be tax free, then why deducting tax including 2400?
should i calculate my tax according to salary in my hand or full?
no proper bifurcation of my salary structure.
i am paying health insurance and labor insurance - will it be taxable as well?
and again and again having document mixup with blue collar and white collar job?
You are mixing up different topics. Your thread topic and query is about taxes owed for 2023. What happens in 2024 is unrelated to your topic, as @qwert_zuiop has pointed out.

@Mamoon I donât understand why this is complicated.
You should simply take your passport and your ARC and visit your local tax bureau (location will vary depending on your city/county of residence). Talk to a worker and tell them you wish to file your tax return. Itâll be done smoothly and quickly. If youâre getting a refund, unfortunately it wonât be available to you until August 1, I believe. But at least you will have squared things up. Good luck.

Thereâs other stuff going on here besides simply filing taxes, which complicate the situation somewhat. See OPâs other thread:
I think better to try and resolve that first, if possible. They still have a couple of weeks left to file taxes.
