Taiwan applies a progressive individual income tax system with 5 brackets ranging from 5% to 40%. Tax residents (183+ days per year) are taxed on worldwide income using progressive rates. Non-residents are taxed at a flat 18% on Taiwan-sourced income only. Taiwan offers generous deductions: a personal exemption of NT$101,000, standard deduction of NT$136,000 (single) or NT$272,000 (married filing jointly), and a salary special deduction of NT$227,000—totalling NT$464,000 for a single employed resident (AY 2026).
