Article 25 (ATC 25) of Taiwan’s Personal Income Tax Law states:
Any profit-seeking enterprise having its head office outside the territory of the Republic of China, and which is engaged in
1)international transport,
2)construction contracting,
3)providing technical services, or
4)machinery and equipment leasing, etc.,
in the territory of the Republic of China, and the cost and expenses of which are difficult to calculate may apply for approval from the Ministry of Finance, or the Ministry of Finance may make the decision to consider 10% of its total business revenue for an enterprise engaged in international transport business, or 15% of its total business revenue for one engaged in any other businesses as its income derived within the territory of the Republic of China regardless whether or not it has a branch office or business agent in the territory of the Republic of China. In such cases, however, the regulation in Article 39 regarding the deduction of losses cannot be applied.

Effective Tax Rate

With ATC 25 advance ruling approval, deemed profit ratios can be summarized as follows:

Deemed Profit Ratio  Tax Rate Effective Tax Rate
1)International transport 10% 20% 2%
2)Construction Contracting 15% 20% 3%
3)Technical services 15% 20% 3%
4)Equipment leasing 15% 20% 3%

For Example:
With ATC 25 Approval
If a foreign company receives ATC 25 advance ruling approval on a technical service contract, deemed profits on a NTD 2 million contract will be NTD 300,000. Net tax payable on the contract revenue will be NTD 60,000 (NTD 300,000*20%).
Without ATC 25 approval
Applicable withholding tax on the same contract would amount to NTD 400,000 (NTD 2 million*20%).

Mechanism of Paying Tax

If the foreign company does not have a permanent establishment in Taiwan, the Taiwan customer should, in accordance with Article 88 of the Income Tax Act, deduct 3% withholding tax and remit the net amount to the foreign company.

If the foreign Company has a permanent establishment in Taiwan, the Taiwan permanent establishment should issue a VAT invoice to the Taiwan customer and book the contract revenue in its accounting record. Tax is paid at the time the corporate income tax return is submitted. The due date is five months after the end of the fiscal year.

Application and Approval Timeline

ATC 25 is an advance ruling application.
Generally, we will suggest  to send out the application before work kick-off , but only after the commencement date of the contract.
It takes approximately one month to obtain approval.
