🔔 Taiwan’s Dual Taxation System: What Should You Choose?
Taiwan’s dual taxation system for stock transactions allows investors to choose between actual taxation and estimated taxation. This transitional system, implemented in 2013, will shift to a single taxation method in 2015.
Key Dates and Taxation Methods
From November 16 to December 15, 2012, investors must declare their preferred taxation method. If no declaration is made, the default will be estimated taxation.
Who Is Affected?
The dual taxation system primarily applies to listed stocks, IPO shares, and certain other categories. While the differences may seem minor for most investors, the choice can impact tax liabilities.
Implications for the Stock Market
The system’s design aims to stabilize the market, but its long-term effects remain uncertain. Investors are advised to consult financial advisors to make informed decisions.
