I think I may have missed it.
I remember last year I went to some tax office near 西門 to get some tax refunded (I’m a teacher), but I can’t remember when it was.
Any idea?
Thanks.
30th June
Thanks. Do you know where I can find more information? Like when I can go and what I need to bring etc.
Each tax office has operating hours. Usually 8.30 or 9 to 5-5.30
I bring my ARC and passport.
You don’t even need your passport anymore.
Ah right, I didn’t realise it was “filing” taxes as my school takes the tax off automatically and I just go to the tax office to get back whatever I’m owed.
For the first time filing taxes in Taiwan, they still want to get a copy of the passport. At least that’s what they told me today in Taipei.
Ok, so just passport and ARC, no need for a contract, work permit etc etc…
Is this in Taipei? Every year the tax office in Taoyuan requires a copy of my passport and ARC.
The lack of consistency between offices wouldn’t surprise me, though.
I forgot mine. Got off the MRT and went back to get it. She didn’t even ask for it. They have a direct link to the entry exit bureau now.
I always take everything for something like this, never know what someone will think they need
Take your NHI card too.
I filed my taxes just last week at the tax office next to Beimen station in Ximen, they only asked for my ARC. It was the same last year.
Hi guys,
Has anyone received tax refund? It used to be the last day of July every year for me but this year I am still waiting for the money to hit my bank account. Wonder if the date has been changed. Thanks.
Got mine.
I have to wait for September every year, I’m pretty sure. Is that an ARC thing?
Every year they told me when it would come, and it always seemed to be a random date. This year I did the math and it’s exactly 120 days from the day I filed.
I asked the Taipei tax office about this at the start of July. The guy told me that submitting the tax return by Friday July 5 was the deadline for the first wave of refund payments by bank transfer in August, submitting it by the end of July was the deadline for the second wave of refund payments by bank transfer in September, and after that refund payments would be issued by check rather than bank transfer.
I didn’t ask for any more granular info than that, e.g., if the exact date of transfer depends on exactly when the person submitted. And maybe it depends on the tax office too?
I got mine two days ago. Was really surprised it came before August – I don’t think I filed any earlier this year.
