" Hi all, I may be relocated to Taiwan for at least 2 years as an engineer. I am wondering anyone can help me in the taxation policies for an expatriate in Taiwan. Besides that, some advices about the living standard will be helpful. Appreciate the help. Thanks. Best regards. Dean Lee. "

" Hi Dean Lee My husband and I are about to go to Taiwan to live for a couple of months. He will be working there also. If you stay in Taiwan for longer than 183 days on one calender year you are considered to be a resident for tax reasons. If you are a resident you are taxed at a lower rate, around 6%. If you are a nonresident then you are taxed at 20%. You have to file a income tax and all the rest of it while you are there. To avoid this you can organise it so your money is being sent to an off shore account but I''m not sure just how easy that is. I looked into the living standard of Taiwan before we decided to go, and I discovered that generally it fine. If you want to still live the Westerner way of life it is not a problem but it is more expensive. Taiwan, Taipei in particular is crowded, noisy and polluted, but isn''t any other city in the world? I am telling you all this without actually arriving there myself. I am just going on what I have heard. We are leaving in a couple of days so I will soon find out! Hope everthing works out for you Carolyn "
