Set up overseas Chinese and foreign investment company in Taiwan
Taiwan offers a favorable environment for business operations.

The country is equipped with well-developed infrastructure—including electricity, water, transportation, and telecommunications—effectively supporting the needs of a wide range of industries.
I. Introduction to the establishment of a foreign company in Taiwan
Foreign and Overseas Chinese Investment in Taiwan
Foreign and overseas Chinese subsidiaries in Taiwan are legally and financially independent. They can reinvest, open branches, issue invoices, and engage in wholesale, retail, and import/export activities. A 20% corporate income tax applies, and dividend remittances are subject to a 20% withholding tax, with certain tax incentives available.
Taiwan uses a negative list system, restricting investment in fewer than 40 sectors, allowing over 96% market openness. There is generally no capital requirement for open sectors, and company setup takes about one month.
Mainland Chinese Investment
Mainland Chinese investment is regulated under cross-strait laws. If over 30% of a foreign company’s capital is mainland-funded, it is subject to additional review.
Currently, 408 sectors are open to mainland investors, including manufacturing, services, and infrastructure. Applications require detailed documentation and typically take at least three months to process.
II. Documents to be prepared for foreign company registration
- Proposed company name.
