UPDATED I have an APRC, when am I getting the NT$6,000 tax rebate?

Posted on by

You might have heard quite a lot of talk about permanent residents and citizens of Taiwan getting an NT$6,000 tax rebate a while back, one of the last things outgoing Premier Su Tseng-chang did before he left office.

Ehhhh… that was back in January, when does the money come in?

The website is here and went live for registration for direct deposits to bank account Wednesday, March 22 at 8 am for those whose IDs end in a zero or a one; those whose IDs end in a two or three on Thursday, March 23 at 8 am; those whose IDs end in a four and five on Friday, March 24; six and seven on Saturday, March 25; and eight and nine on Sunday, March 26. After that, you can register regardless of your ID number. The ATM and Post Office options are also now available.

Click 登記入帳 to register to get the money directly deposited to your bank. You’ll need to fill in your ARC no., the 12 digit number on your NHI card and your bank and bank account number.

So… how do I get my grubby little hands on it? (Updated March 16, 2023)

As you may or may not know, as opposed to the stimulus vouchers issued previously, this time they are issuing cash directly. According to Minister Audrey Tang, there are three main ways to collect your tax rebate (there are two other categories for special categories including remote areas, but not super important for the majority of us):

  1. Straight to your bank account – you can log into the online system with your NHI card and will have the option to have the money deposited directly into your bank account.
  2. Withdrawing the cash direct from an ATM – you can go to an ATM at one of 12 appointed banks and enter your NHI card number and ID number to allow you to withdraw the cash immediately. (Prepare for some hiccups for APRC holders with this option in my estimation).
  3. Post office counter service – for those who are fans of queueing, you can also get the cash at a post office with your ID/APRC and NHI card. If you’re a real queue aficionado and want to eat up at least a few hours, you can try to get it on the first day or target an area of Taipei with a higher concentration of senior citizens. Alternatively, you can go with option 1 and then queue up for a distinctly average beef noodle restaurant instead.

UPDATE (March 29, 2023):

You can check if you successfully registered using the tool below:

When you click “查詢登記結果” (Check the results of registration), you’ll be prompted to enter your ARC number and the 12 digits on the front of your NHI card. And if you were successful it should give you a message like this:

“Registration complete, the money will enter your account soon.”

    • The website has launched at 6000.gov.tw but won’t allow registrations until March 22 from 8am.

  2. I am an APRC holder for 17 years, i got all the money from before. Do I assume as a foreigner that it will come? When does it come? Or do I have to jump through issues?

    • You can register on March 22. If there are any issues, the issues will come up then.
