Diverse tax payment methods for convenience and real-time inquiry on tax payment records for peace of mind.
The Ministry of Finance offers diverse tax payment channels （as shown in the table below） to facilitate citizens’ tax payment. Taxpayers can use the Consolidated Income Tax Return e-Filing and Tax Payment System or the online tax payment service website （https://paytax.nat.gov.tw）to pay taxes using credit cards, debit cards, current（savings） deposit accounts, e-payment accounts, mobile payment tools, or designated account transfers. Moreover, taxpayers can scan the QR code on the tax bill with a mobile APP to make payments or present the tax bill at a tax collection financial institution to make payments in cash or by check. For tax amounts below NT$30,000, taxpayers can also make payments at Uni-President, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, or OK convenience stores.
