Tax Collection Act Article 24

The tax authorities may implement the following tax safeguards, except in the case where the taxpayer has furnished property equivalent to the tax payable as security:1.Where a taxpayer fails to make a due tax payment, the tax authorities may notify the government authorities concerned to prohibit said taxpayer from transferring or creating other rights over the property of the taxpayer at a value equivalent to the amount of the outstanding tax payable, and may, if the taxpayer is a profit-seeking enterprise, notify the competent authorities to prohibit said taxpayer from reducing its capital.2.In the event of any indication that the taxpayer conceals or transfers his/her/its property to evade the collection of tax, and a tax payment notice has been executed or the tax which should be declared and paid by a taxpayer has not been paid within the statutory period, the tax authorities may, without furnishing any security, apply to the court for a provisional seizure of his/her/its property.Under any of the following circumstances, the tax authority should lift the tax safeguard measures in the preceding paragraph:1.The taxpayer or a third party has provided property equivalent to the tax payable as a guarantee.2.The taxpayer initiates an administrative remedy with respect to the tax assessment, and has the tax assessment successfully cancelled by an administrative appeal or the court. However, if there are signs of taxpayers hiding, transferring assets or tax evasion, tax safeguards will not be lifted.Any individual residing in the Republic of China or any profit-seeking enterprise operating within the territory of the Republic of China, which fails to pay tax in due date, the single account of tax due or the combined account of the tax due plus fine, if over the amount of NT$1,000,000 for the individual or over the amount of NT$2,000,000 for the profit-seeking enterprise; as well as before the conclusion of procedures for administrative remedies, if the amount is over NT$1,500,000 for the individual, and the amount is over NT$3,000,000 for the profit-seeking enterprise, the MOF may request the Ministry of the Interior National Immigration Agency to restrict the said taxpayer from exiting the Republic of China. If the taxpayer is a profit-seeking enterprise, the responsible person thereof may be restricted from exiting the Republic of China. However, in the event that the taxpayer has furnished property equivalent to the tax payable as security, or if the tax authorities fail to carry out the first half of Subparagraph 1 or Subparagraph 2, preceding Paragraph 1, the MOF may not request the Ministry of the Interior National Immigration Agency to restrict the said taxpayer from exiting the Republic of China.1.When the MOF requests the Ministry of the Interior National Immigration Agency to restrict the said taxpayer from exiting the Republic of China, it shall also simultaneously notify the said taxpayer in writing the reasons with remarks for the procedures for administrative remedies and deliver the notice as prescribed by law.2.The period of restriction from exiting the Republic of China by the Ministry of the Interior National Immigration Agency shall not be over five years from the date of enforcement.If the taxpayer or the responsible person of an enterprise falls under any of the falling conditions, the MOF may request the Ministry of the Interior National Immigration Agency to lift such restriction:1.Restriction from exiting the Republic of China has already exceeded the period provided in Subparagraph 2 of the preceding paragraph.2.The taxpayer has paid the tax due and fine, or has furnished property equivalent to the tax payable as security to the tax authorities.3.The taxpayer seeks an administrative remedy with respect to the tax assessment, and has the tax assessment successfully cancelled by an administrative appeal or the court. However, the restriction on exiting the Republic of China will not be lifted should the tax assessment be partially revoked and the unpaid tax which is not revoked amounts to the ones set out in the preceding paragraph, or should there be indications that the taxpayer will conceal or transfer assets or evade taxation.4.The administrative remedy and penalty procedures were concluded, and the combined amount of the tax due and fine is under the standard provided in the preceding paragraph.5.The company or the limited partnership organization which owes the tax has been dissolved and settled by law, and has no remaining assets to pay for tax and fine.6.The tax due by the taxpayer has been allocated in accordance with the settlement or bankruptcy procedure of the Bankrupt Law.The provisions set forth in Articles 242, 243, 244, and 245 of the Civil Code, and set forth in Articles 6 and 7 of the Trust Law shall apply mutatis mutandis to the levy of taxes.
