According to the National Taxation Bureau of the Central Area, Ministry of Finance, the filing season for the 2024 Alien Individual Income Tax Return has begun on May 1, 2025. The Bureau advises all foreign taxpayers to prepare the necessary documentation to ensure timely compliance with their tax obligations. 

The Bureau states that during the filing season for the 2024 Alien Individual Income Tax Return, which runs from May 1 to June 30, 2025, foreign taxpayers can visit the Ministry of Finance's e-Filing and tax payment service website ( https://tax.nat.gov.tw ) to download the e-Filing program and use the software to file tax returns on the internet.

E-Filing provides the following four ways to log in, which are quite convenient:

1. Alien Resident Digital Certificate issued by the Ministry of the Interior.

2. National Health Insurance card that has been registered for the National Health Insurance card online service.

3.  Financial CA approved by the Ministry of Finance.

4. The uniform ID No. of your residence permit or visitor visa, and passport number, residence certificate number, or permit number as of January 31, 2025 (enter the inquiry code and date of birth to download the income and deduction data).

The Bureau recommends that foreign taxpayers file tax returns and pay taxes using credit or financial chip cards online. This method effectively reduces the need for in-person visits and long wait times at the Bureau. If you have any questions, please call our toll-free service number 0800-000321 for consultation, and we will do our best to serve you.
