Taxation Registration

    If the business entity is a company, after registering with the competent company registration authority, the competent taxing authority will handle taxation registration based on the basic registration information provided by the competent company registration authority without the business entity filing a separate application.
  3. What documents should be provided?
    1. For a business entity with a company or a business registration according to the law, under provisions of Paragraph 2, Article 3 of the Regulations Governing Taxation Registration, the competent taxing authority shall handle taxation registration based on the basic information provided by the competent authority for company, business or limited partnership registration, and it shall be deemed to have applied for taxation registration under the provisions of Article 28 of the Value-added and Non-Value-added Business Tax Act. The following documents are requested from these business entities by the taxing authority:
      1. A photocopy of the National Identification Card, the Household Certificate, or other valid supporting documents of the responsible person.
