The Employment Gold Card Super-Thread

@tgray

I own two companies in the United States and do not have an employer or registered company in Taiwan. My income is earned overseas, but I do pay taxes in Taiwan on that income.

What’s the tax code for that income? To my understanding, the ones counted for an APRC application are 50, 5F, 9A, and 9B:

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!)
