Customs Anti-smuggling Act Article 45-3
Ⅰ.Where a duty-payer or exporter, before the Customs, national taxation authority or any other law enforcement agency received a tip-off or started an investigation, voluntarily files an application to Customs for correcting errors contained in a goods declaration, and the errors being made would constitute any of the misconducts defined in Article 37 and Paragraph 2, Article 39, he or she shall be exempt from penalties on condition that:1. If the goods in question have not been released,(1) The goods are not selected for examination by Customs.(2) The goods, not falling within any of controlled categories, have been selected for examination, but the error-correction application is made before hard copies of the goods declaration and its supporting documents are supplemented, and received by Customs during office hours of the day following the day on which an on-line Customs notice of selection for goods examination has been sent to the person concerned.2. Or the goods, if released, are not subject to post clearance audit.Ⅱ.A person committed an offence and thus was liable for a penalty pursuant to any provision other than the preceding paragraph set forth in this Act shall be exempted, if he or she, before the Customs, national taxation authority or any other law enforcement agency received a tip-off or started an investigation, voluntarily reports or provides evidential information to and, by doing so, help the agency concerned identify such an offence.Ⅲ.Notwithstanding the preceding two paragraphs, the exemption of a penalty shall not be applicable if the person who voluntarily filed an error-correction application or reported an offense has subsequently been found to be liable for unpaid duties and taxes, unless the amount owed is recovered. The amount to be recovered shall include interest for the period beginning on the following date of the original payment due date, or of the date on which a duty exemption or drawback treatment was confirmed by Customs, up to the date on which the unpaid duty and taxes is supplemented, calculated on a daily basis according to the interest rate of one year fixed deposit, effective on the date on which the outstanding duty and taxes is paid, as published by the Postal Saving Bureau.
