Under 180 day confusion

Ive been back in Taiwan under 180 days and thus have been enduring 20% tax.

I received my tax statement from work and it covers (in dollar terms) only up until November whereas it states up until December (written on the form).

Just wanted some clarification before I approach Admin/HR.

I got the same, guess its normal? I will go to the tax office this week and will reply here afterwards.

I think it’s because your November salary is actually received in December. Your December salary is actually received in the following tax year.

Just a guess.

Your guess makes sense, they charged me 20% for december here. And it would mean I have to wait until 2007 to get back that one :slight_smile:
