Taiwan What's up? Managing Editor
【Editor’s Note‧編輯的話】
Investing in Taiwan
made simple
Launching your own business requires a
good idea and a whole lot of passion. But
how do you execute your idea when you don’t
speak and read Chinese fluently?
It might take tons of self-discipline and
smart-strategizing, like in any other country,
though Taiwan authorities are also providing
a lot of information in English (http://investtaiwan.
nat.gov.tw/) to help those who are
ready to launch their startup.
In the meantime, Taiwan What’s up?
reminds readers that the European Chamber
of Commerce Taipei (ECCT) and the American
Chamber of Commerce in Taipei (AmCham),
two of the largest, most effective business
organizations in Taiwan, are also dedicated to
promoting the interests of international business,
big or small, in Taiwan. ■

InvesTaiwan Service Center
welcomes all foreign investors’
inquiries, writes Eric Huang
Many people dream of starting their own
business. If you want some important
information on business registration, financing
and taxes in Taiwan, here are some tips from
the InvesTaiwan Service Center.
To begin with, potential investors should
know that they are required to submit an
application to the Investment Commission
under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA)
in accordance with the Statute for Investment
by Overseas Chinese or Statute for Investment
by Foreign Nationals.
After obtaining approval, they must
register their company with the competent
authority in charge of company registration
in accordance with Taiwan’s corporate laws.
Those who wish to set up a branch company
must also seek approval from the MOEA’s
Department of Commerce.
If the investor is a corporation (juridical
person), a representative, who is also a citizen
of the Republic of China (R.O.C.), will have
to be nominated. Please note that civil servants,
teaching personnel employed at public
schools or those employed by state-owned
corporations or serving in the military may not
act as the representative of an investor.
For representative offices, the authorization
letter of the investor’s representative
will have to be authenticated by the government
agency or certified by a court where
the foreign company is located or the foreign
individual resides, or notarized by a qualified
public notary according to the R.O.C. Notary
Act, or authenticated by the home country’s
foreign embassy or representative office in
the R.O.C.
The content of the authorization letter
should clearly state the name of the investor
and the name of the representative and
should clearly stipulate the obligations designated
therein to the representative. ■
