Establishing a company in Taiwan

A Taiwan limited company is a separate legal entity for business operations. We help international investors review the ownership, proposed activities, investment approvals and capital arrangements before registration.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

Limited company

A limited company can have one or more individual or corporate shareholders. Foreign ownership is possible for permitted investments, subject to investment review and sector restrictions.

02 / MANAGEMENT

Foreign directors

A limited company has one to three directors. Official Invest Taiwan guidance permits foreign directors residing outside Taiwan; the detailed appointments depend on the chosen structure.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Address & capital verification

Maintain a registered address in Taiwan. There is no general statutory minimum capital, but capital must be commercially appropriate and examined and certified by a local CPA.

Tax & business planning

Taiwan’s general profit-seeking enterprise income-tax rate is 20%, subject to the statutory thresholds and calculation rules. Foreign ownership or overseas customers does not itself create a tax exemption. Tax registration, indirect taxes and any specific incentives should be reviewed for the actual business.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you begin

Can foreign investors own a Taiwan company?

Foreign investors may own a limited company for permitted activities, subject to investment review and any restricted-sector rules. The approval requirements depend on the actual investor and business.

Does a director have to reside in Taiwan?

Official Invest Taiwan guidance states that directors of a limited company may be foreign nationals residing outside Taiwan. Work and residence permissions for anyone working locally are separate matters.

Is there a fixed minimum capital?

There is no general statutory minimum for an ordinary limited company. Capital must cover establishment needs and be examined and certified by a local CPA. The proposed activity or immigration arrangements may require additional funding.

How does foreign-investment approval fit into setup?

The usual sequence includes name reservation, foreign-investment approval, capital remittance and verification, and company registration. Sector permissions and investor-specific rules may add requirements.

What ongoing compliance is required?

Maintain company and accounting records, prepare annual financial statements and file the applicable tax and corporate information. CPA audit or attestation applies where statutory thresholds, sector rules or other requirements are met.

Can BRIS GROUP help with banking and tax registration?

We can coordinate the agreed documentation and professional support for capital remittance, corporate banking and tax registration. Banking approval and any attendance requirements remain with the selected bank.
