Don’t Forget to Consolidate Carriers to Your Mobile Barcode and Claim Your Winnings Online
The National Taxation Bureau of the Northern Area（NTBNA）, Ministry of Finance, indicated that with the growing trend of e-commerce, many business entities have adopted membership systems as an innovative marketing strategy and offer member-exclusive discount plans, which help expand business opportunities and encourage the use of membership carriers for cloud invoices. This not only reduces operating costs but also brings various benefits to both businesses and consumers.
The NTBNA explains that business entities using membership carriers should provide a mechanism for linking those carriers to mobile barcodes. Moreover, they should notify winning members who have not yet consolidated their carriers with their mobile barcodes within 10 days after the uniform invoice drawing date of each period. Notifications should be sent via SMS, email, or other appropriate methods. Upon receiving a winning notification, members can print the winning certificate at multimedia kiosks in the four major convenience store chains（7-Eleven, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, and OKmart）, or present the printed notification provided by the business entity to redeem the prize at a designated redemption location.
The NTBNA also reminds consumers that to enjoy the convenience of automatic prize remittance into their designated accounts, they should log in to the member platform of the respective business entity or the Ministry of Finance’s Electronic Invoice Integration Service Platform （hereinafter referred to as the “Platform”）. There, they can consolidate their membership carriers to their mobile barcode and set up an account to claim the awards. By doing so, they can enjoy several convenient services, such as automatic prize matching, winning notifications, prize redemption, and direct deposit of cash awards into their financial accounts.Those who have not completed the binding of carriers and account settings before the draw date can still claim their prizes. They may register a remittance account via the Uniform Invoice Redemption App （hereinafter referred to as the “Redemption App”）within three months from the 6th of the month following the draw. Users must manually select “I want to claim the award” for each winning invoice to ensure that they do not miss out on any prizes.
The Bureau appeals to business entities using membership carriers to provide mechanisms that allow members to register on both the Platform and their own membership platforms. This will help reduce the administrative costs of notifying and processing winning invoices. To manage cloud invoices more effectively and enjoy automatic prize matching, consumers are encouraged to consolidate various carriers — such as membership carriers, stored-value cards（e.g., EasyCard, iPASS）, credit cards, and cross-border e-commerce email carrier, etc. — into their mobile barcode through the Platform or the Redemption App. This also contributes to energy conservation, carbon reduction, and environmental protection. If you have any questions, please call the toll-free service number 0800-000321 for inquiries, and the Bureau will have a dedicated person to serve you wholeheartedly.
