HR 5988 United States House · 118th Congress

United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act

This bill establishes tax relief for qualified residents of Taiwan earning income in the United States by reducing tax rates on interest, dividends, and royalties to 10% or 15% (instead of the standard 30%). It also exempts certain wages and income from entertainment activities under $30,000 from U.S. taxation. To qualify, individuals must meet specific residency requirements, and entities must demonstrate substantial business activity in Taiwan. The bill modifies withholding tax procedures to implement these new rates and requires reciprocal tax benefits from Taiwan to be in place.
