This is a definite yes. I think it was 3 years of them that you needed. I did a small write up on the process and docs you need in the APRC thread, but it was a few years ago so I’m a bit hazy on the details. 
Edit: This if if you are not applying as a spouse of a ROC citizen. Thanks, @tando.
if you do that as a spouse of an ROC citizen, a proof of your income is not required if your spouse has enough income to support you. If you want to do that independently, you need your income.
Yes, you need to show a minimum income/property value and your tax paid receipts. This is why joint filing is …tricky. If there is some fallout between you and your wife, well, then getting an APRC is going to be much harder.
Guys, he needs to show that he has some kind of means to support himself here. If he is married he presents his wife’s “joint” statements but…
That is the part I extremely dislike. the guys work but it is the wife that doesn’t work or won’t give money to the household who presents the taxes. Then, when the proverbial manure hits the fan, the guy is presented as a leech and a bum because there is no paperwork. Same with enterprises. It is more convenient to have the company under the local’s name and they present the taxes… until she sweeps the rug from under the guy’s feet and leaves him on the street without a cent of all the work put in.
I went this morning and there’s a protest (go figure). So they did not open the front door.
The side door was packed with a line of employees and everyone without a employee ID was asked what they were here for. I hadn’t had my coffee at the time and was unable to connect the two and just replied “taxes?” and showed them my ARC.
I got escorted into the building by an employee and immediately assigned to someone to fill out my tax form.
Here’s what happened afterwards and I still can’t believe how effortless this is.
All of the above was done in under 15 minutes.
What are they protesting?
I think they want tax reforms, cause the system has been unfair to some.
Especially get rid of bonuses for people working in the tax office. Something along those lines. 
I was totally flabbergasted when they told me I no longer have to get out to the nearest ATM in order to pay my taxes. You just whip out your ATM card -actually, can be any of your credit cards too- and they have a reader connected to their computer. Click, click, all paid.
Huh? Darn. Do you have to do anything special to pay that way? Yesterday in Danshui I had to take the printout from the tax office, get money from an ATM, and then try and pay at a 7-11. And then try again at an OK-Mart, because the 7-11 couldn’t scan the bar code on the printout.
Question: I had the forms filled out slightly incorrectly, because their records included interest paid, and tax deducted, from a bank account - trivial amounts, but their information saved me, oh, NT$18 or so. Is there a way I can see what their records show? Or do I need to ask Fubon bank for that information?
This was in Xindian, which is usually a bit behind in most tech innovations. They told me to do so. They asked me if I wanted to pay cash or credit card. I say cash. they asked me for my ATM card. Is there money in here? they asked too. I was still in shock when they got out the little machine I have seen used for ebanking. Later on, I checked my account and yep, it showed the payment. No problem.
As to their records, they showed me what I had paid in taxes at work and bank deposits/savings, and they had even the records of all my visits to the doctor, plus they offered a deduction of 22k for the private health insurance I am paying, which took a nice chunk out of the overall tax payment. hence, I am really happy for their asistance.
Usually, they just turn their monitor to me to see what their records show. They gave me a copy too without asking.
The bank usually sends me a statement of the taxes they deduced of my stuff in them -accounts, fixed bonds, etc. regularly. By snail mail, I may say.
Instead of taking cash out and going to a 711, can you just go to your bank and they deduct it right from your account?
They’ll issue you a payment voucher that can be taken to your bank for payment processing, yes. You would still need to go back and pick up your certificate. If you have your ATM card, you should be able to pay right there and collect your tax certificate (confirmed at the Xindian and Main office near Taipei Main).
They wont mail the certificate to you after? I went recently and they gave me the payment slip thing. Didn’t pay on the spot as I owe a lot this year and would rather pay next week. I have to mail back the yellow form once I pay.
Oh, sorry, they might mail it, I’m not sure…
Nope, you have to pick it in person, in my experience. So yu have to go back…
Yep, you can also pay at the bank, whichever is more convenient, with a receipt they give you, but that is the old way. Now, they skip this step. Faster. More convenient.
Ah that’s lame. I won’t be back in that area for a while, so I figure I’ll just pay next week then go back for the cert a few weeks later.
Is it possible to pay for you taxes using a credit card? How about part of your taxes (part cash, part credit card)? When do you need to pay by? End of May?
I really don’t want to dip into long-term savings but I think I may have gone a bit over budget this year on my trip to Korea and during CNY. If I could get covered until end of June, then all will be back to normal.
Edit: I see this is partially answered here. Can anyone confirm? How about part cash, part credit card? Thanks.
my Taiwanese wife says, yes, can pay by credit card. A call to them can confirm. You have until May 1 to confirm.
Yep, credit cards even offer payment in installments with 0 interest.
