The Employment Gold Card Super-Thread

@blueskywhitesky

Just make sure your income is counted as wages and not business or investment income, but since you are not self-employed that shouldn’t be in question. The tax office is pretty accommodating anyway. I am self-employed and they classified my income as 5F which is fine.

9A and 9B are fine too - see my post here:

APRC After Gold Card - What are the rules?

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!)
