《TAIPEI TIMES》 Tax rebates now available at ATMs

/ Staff writer, with CNA

Taiwanese and eligible foreigners can from today collect NT$6,000 （US$197） tax rebates at 26,688 designated ATMs throughout the nation. In contrast to having the payment wired to their bank account, claiming it at an ATM does not require an online registration via 6000.gov.tw.

The rebates, for which Taiwanese, foreign permanent residents and residents whose spouse is Taiwanese are eligible, are part of a government program to distribute NT$141.65 billion of last year’s surplus tax revenue.

People can claim the rebates in cash from ATMs at 15 designated financial institutions until Oct. 31, the Ministry of Digital Affairs said.

The institutions are Chunghwa Post, Bank of Taiwan, Land Bank of Taiwan, Taiwan Cooperative Bank, First Bank, Hua Nan Bank, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, Mega International Commercial Bank, Cathay United Bank, Taishin International Bank, CTBC Bank, E.Sun Bank, Yuanta Bank and Bank SinoPac.

ATMs that offer the service are marked with orange stickers, the ministry said, adding that people need an ATM card and must provide their national ID or Alien Resident Certificate number, as well as their National Health Insurance （NHI） number, to claim the rebates.

Parents and legal guardians of minors can collect the rebates on their behalf, it said, adding that they need to provide the child’s NHI number.

Alternatively, Taiwanese can also claim the rebates at Chunghwa Post offices by showing their national ID and NHI cards, or the birth certificate of a dependent minor on whose behalf they are collecting the payment.
