Taiwan Payroll Services

At Bradford Jacobs, we navigate the administration of the Taiwanese payroll system for you. We do the work, so you do not have to.

Taiwanese Payroll

It is essential that international companies fully understand the role of payroll services in Taiwan. Operating payroll is a key element for successful expansions into this ‘Tiger’ economy in the front rank of Southeast Asian nations. Foreign companies planning to operate payroll for their employees face complications dealing with the relevant taxation and social insurance authorities.

How We Can Help You

Employers must comply not only with strict rules affecting paying their staff, but also benefits and entitlements once the employees are on their payroll. Paperwork and red tape put problems in the way of successfully implementing your business plan… but not when you have Bradford Jacobs at your side.

Available Taiwanese Payroll Options

  • Remote payroll – This option allows businesses to operate under a single payroll system, by adding employees in Taiwan to your parent company’s payroll. However, these employees must operate under different regulations, which is likely to cause problems.
  • Internal payroll – You may operate payroll for your subsidiary, especially if you are committed to growing your company’s presence in Taiwan. However, this does require hiring dedicated HR staff who understand Taiwanese employment and compliance laws.
  • Taiwans’ payroll processing company – If you are considering outsourcing, then working with a Taiwanese payroll company will help in processing your payroll – but not when it comes to compliance.
  • Taiwans’ payroll outsourcing – However, there is another option available that solves both concerns – by working with Bradford Jacobs. We can handle payroll and compliance for all your employees in Taiwan. We take the administrative stress off your shoulders so you can focus on what you do best.

The first requirement to set up payroll in Taiwan is to establish a legal entity in the country, with the usual choice being a limited company, which operates under the Companies Act. Before starting the incorporation process, a foreign company needs a Foreign Investment Application (FIA) from Taiwan’s Investment Commission.

The requirements for putting employees on the payroll include:

  • Employees must be registered with the relevant northern, southern or central tax office, or the Taipei tax office, of the National Taxation Agency, depending on location
  • Employees must be registered for contributions to the Labour Insurance Programme (LIP), the National Health Insurance Programme (NHIP) and the Labour Pension Programme (LPP) which are part of the National Health Insurance system
  • Verify individual’s Unified Identification (UI) number for those without household registration and a Taiwan Resident’s Certificate
  • Since January 2021 the 10-digit UI number has conformed to the format for a resident. UI applications are made to the National Immigration Agency
  • Foreign employees obtain the Alien Registration Certificate, which serves as their ID card
