Not going to happen. But I hope for awareness and staff training
How long do you have to have been naturalized for until you’re allowed to participate in rebellion?
You can rebel regardless of if you have naturalized or not… The real question is how far you go… and if you succeed or not.
Damn that’s taking so long. I appreciate all the effort you’ve put in to pursuing them.
Aren’t rebellions (as opposed to revolutions) the uprisings that fail?

You expect us to win? Taiwanese 差不多ness is too powerful
Another strategy is to bring the CRS handbook to the bank, and each time they say something non-compliant, point out the rule in the handbook they broke:
The CRS is a self certification and becomes valid if it’s not a self certification. I’m sure they broke many rules here. But in particular they broke this rule in the CRS handbook:
Comp p. 148:
“Ensuring that Financial Institutions must rely only on a self-certification from either the Account Holder or the Controlling Person to determine whether a Controlling Person of a Passive NFE is a Reportable Person;”
Once I have some time to understand the CRS guidelines I’ll try gather some evidence and send in a report to OECD about Taiwan’s incorrect implementation, which might cause some pressure if they contact Taiwan’s tax bureau.
The CRS guidelines provide a template that only ask those who are not tax residents where the financial accounts are located be contacted for self certification. This would explain why banks do not ask Taiwanese to fill in CRS forms. I have never been asked to do CRS self certification in UK, Canada, or US while I was a tax resident there. I think this goes back to the issue that Taiwan automatically assumes all non-citizens to be non tax residents.
Everyone in Australia does regardless of immigration status. But it’s usually 2-3 boxes you tick online
In Italy and HK is common practice to declare Ur tax status
It’s possible that when I was in the UK, they were not part of CRS (looks like they joined in 2016). I’m a Canadian citizen so they don’t seem to ask me in Canada. And looks like the US is not part of CRS.
I’ve done that before with esun. The idiots laughed and didn’t know what it was
How did you respond?

If I’m being honest… I am growing tired of it all. It took 2 hours of back and forth. I ended up not writing the CRS but they told me that their headquarters will adjust it anyway.
I didn’t really care as I have gotten used to it.
HOWEVER, the next time I went in to esun (Wenxin road Taichung) to sort out my multicurrency account… the lady actually asked if I were a tax resident of Australia and I said no and then she cast the form to the side. So I think they were trained
I had one bank manager when I said I was calling the FSC on them actually said for me to do it very flippantly. I did. Next week they called and said it was all one big misunderstanding
I have a new FSC complaint coming about DBS… should be fun as I recorded the bank staff
Aren’t you concerned they will sue you?
Isn’t recording allowed in Taiwan as long as you’re a party to the conversation?
I remember many many years ago we discussed this on this forum. I can’t find the thread but I bet someone can
Sue for what?
Recording conversation without consent, unless Sat had consent
