Taiwan Agencies Reach Initial Consensus on TISA Tax Incentives
What happened
The Ministry of Finance and the Financial Supervisory Commission reached an initial agreement regarding tax incentives for the Taiwan Individual Savings Account (TISA). TISA, a voluntary savings scheme launched in June 2025, currently holds NT$21.06 billion in total assets as of the end of August. While the agreement is preliminary, the Ministry of Finance noted that further discussions are required to determine the tax-exempt amount and effective date of any new legislation.

Why it matters
The government hopes the incentives will encourage parents and young people to build savings through TISA. The Ministry of Finance previously resisted offering tax breaks, stating that Taiwan already exempts individuals from capital gains tax on stock and exchange-traded fund trades. The final structure of the incentives will influence the scheme's appeal to retail investors.
