Tax filing season is right around the corner, starting next week. Filing taxes on smartphones has become a rising trend among taxpayers, who would rather do the job from home than waiting in line at the counter. And the Ministry of Finance is encouraging more people to use this method to file taxes. This year, taxpayers filing taxes on smartphones can enter a lottery offering a combined NT$5.25 million in prizes. The top prize is NT$50,000. Let’s hear more.

Filing taxes on your phone is painless. Maybe some older people who don’t know how to use their phones prefer to go to the tax office in person. But if you use a smartphone regularly, there are no downsides. And you can win a prize! So that’s even more appealing.

The tax filing period runs from May 1 to May 31. Since this year May 31 falls on a Sunday, we’re extending the period to June 1. Also, May 1 is a national holiday, so tax offices will not provide in-person counter services on that day. We encourage everyone to file their taxes online or on their phones.
And six new measures and deductions are being implemented this year when calculating income tax. The basic living expense deduction has been raised by NT$3,000, and eligibility for long-term care deductions has been expanded. There are also tax credit refunds for income from dividends. A total of 2.37 million households are expected to benefit from the new measures, with a combined tax saving of NT$13.9 billion.
