Under Taiwan’s tax regulations, if a Taiwanese tax resident holds more than 50% of the shares in a company located in a low-tax jurisdiction (with a tax rate of 14% or less) or has substantial control over such a company, and the annual earnings exceed NT 7 million, they must comply with the Individual Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) reporting requirements.
Regarding the CFC regime, we need to understand how to “defer taxation on earnings effectively,” how to “ensure autonomous and free movement of funds within legal frameworks,” and how to “enhance the allocation of resources across different countries.”
