Overview of Taiwan VAT Supported in Kintsugi

Kintsugi supports end-to-end VAT compliance for Taiwan, covering nexus monitoring, VAT registration, tax engine configuration, and return filing. This article gives you a high-level view of how Taiwan VAT works within the platform.

What is Taiwan VAT?

Taiwan imposes a value-added tax known locally as Business Tax. The tax is administered at the national level by the Ministry of Finance through its National Taxation Bureaus. There are no regional or local VAT rates — one national rate applies across the entire country.

The standard VAT rate is 5%.

What Kintsugi supports for Taiwan:

• Nexus monitoring (physical, economic, and collected tax nexus)

• New VAT registration submissions (Standard and Simplified schemes)

• Registration imports

• Tax engine support for B2B SaaS and B2C SaaS product categories

• Return filing (bi-monthly)

What is currently out of scope:

• Product categories other than B2B SaaS and B2C SaaS

Who does this apply to?

This applies to any business using Kintsugi that sells digital or SaaS services to customers in Taiwan, whether they are based inside or outside Taiwan.
