(FWA 2025/8/1)The National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, Ministry of Finance, announced that the first batch of 2024 Individual Income Tax for Aliens refunds for those who opted for a direct deposit was credited to the taxpayers’ designated accounts on August 1.
The Bureau explained that for the Individual Income Tax, taxpayers can choose to have their refunds directly deposited. By providing the New Taiwan Dollar bank or post office account details of the taxpayer, their spouse, or a dependent during filing, the refund will be directly transferred to the specified account.
For those whose designated account cannot receive the deposit for any reason, a refund check will be issued and the taxpayer will be notified to pick it up. Taxpayers who did not choose the direct deposit option will be mailed a refund check to be cashed at a financial institution.
The refund schedule is as follows:
| Tax refund schedule | Schedule |
|---|---|
| First round | August 1 ( If August 1 is a holiday, the date extends to the next working day ) |
| Second round | September 11 ( If September 11 is a holiday, the date extends to the next working day ) |
If you do not receive your refund by the scheduled date, please contact the National Taxation Bureau responsible for your place of residence (based on the address on your Alien Resident Certificate or exit & entry permit) as of the time of filing.

財政部臺北國稅局表示，2024年外僑綜合所得稅結算申報退稅案件，採「存款帳戶退稅」者，第一批退稅已於8月1日撥入納稅義務人指定帳戶。
臺北國稅局說明，外僑綜所稅退稅可採直接撥入的方式辦理退稅，納稅義務人申報時，填寫本人、配偶或申報受扶養親屬的新臺幣金融帳戶或郵局帳戶，國稅局就會直接退稅撥入指定帳戶。
如果有無法撥入帳戶的情況，將另行開立退稅支票通知納稅義務人領取，非採直接撥入者，則寄發支票可向金融機構兌領。
8月1日為第一批次，第二批次為9月11日；如果未於8月1日或9月11日收到轉帳退稅，可向申報時居留地（依居留證或入出境許可證所載居留地址）的國稅局洽詢。
