Step by Step Guide to Payroll Outsourcing in Taiwan

For companies establishing themselves in Taiwan, the complex task of organizing payroll in a foreign country and ensuring that your employees are paid timely and accurately is a costly and arduous process.

  1. First, you need to set up a local legal entity to hire employees and process their contracts.
  2. Then, you will have to open local bank accounts and organize for your employees to be paid using Taiwanese currency.
  3. Next, you will need to ensure that your employee’s contracts comply with the local laws and regulations relating to important matters like benefits, working hours, tax, and social security payments.
  4. Finally, this payroll will need to be closely and consistently managed to ensure that you continue to be on top of any changing laws or regulations.

Payroll Taxes in Taiwan

For a foreign company that wants to establish itself in Taiwan, the primary concerns regarding Taiwanese regulations are: individual income tax for employees, social security costs, VAT withholding tax, business tax, and permanent establishment concerns. There are four main options for handling payroll in Taiwan:

  1. The first of these options is remote payroll for whenever a foreign company pays a resident employee in Taiwan.
  2. The second option is local payroll administration. With this option, many companies register their business in China have another company administer its payroll.
  3. The third option is internal payroll. Larger companies with a longer-term commitment to the Taiwanese market will typically choose this option to handle all of their payroll, both for domestic and foreign employees. This approach may only be suitable for companies that can afford the increased expenses associated with this model.
  4. The final option is to outsource payroll and employment fully. Companies that use this option will use a third party to employ and pay their staff. Companies generally use this method to enter the market quickly and at a reduced cost.
