The May filing of the individual income tax

Taiwan's individual income tax return (綜合所得稅結算申報書) is filed between 1 May and 31 May for the previous calendar year, with the last day moved to the next working day when it falls on a holiday. Returns can be filed online, logging in with a citizen digital certificate, an NHI card with a password, or other methods offered by the Ministry of Finance. From 28 April taxpayers can look up the income and deduction data the tax authority holds for them.

Tax years are written in Minguo years, so the 2025 income year appears as 114年度; we give the Western year next to each one. A spouse and dependants are reported on the same return, so a single document can show several people's income. Every name is transliterated as printed, or as on each person's passport when you ask, and identity numbers, amounts and filing references are copied exactly.

Income data list and tax payment certificate, in Chinese or English

Two documents from the tax authority usually prove income. The income data list (綜合所得稅各類所得資料清單) lists the income that payers reported for you; it can be obtained online with a citizen digital certificate or at a tax office. The tax payment certificate (綜合所得稅納稅證明書) is issued by the National Taxation Bureaus for the years you request, at the counter or online with a citizen digital certificate or NHI card.

The tax payment certificate can be issued in English as well as Chinese. For the English version, the bureau asks for a passport or residence permit to print the taxpayer's and spouse's English names. If you hold the English certificate, it may need no translation at all, so check with the receiving office first. The Chinese certificate, the return and the income data list do need one, and each is translated in full.

Business owners and US filings

Owners of a Taiwanese company usually need its records too: financial statements and the CPA's audit report, the company's tax filings, the company registration and the articles of incorporation. For an EB-5 petition, 8 CFR 204.6(j)(3) asks for corporate, partnership and personal tax returns of any kind filed within five years, in or outside the United States, so a file often covers several years and both the owner and the company.

The same records support E-2 and L-1 files and the income checks of US banks and mortgage lenders. Amounts stay in New Taiwan dollars as printed, with every stamp and seal translated; we do not convert them, total the years or calculate any US tax.

What USCIS requires

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.

State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
