Answer
Q:
What are the regulations on the recipients of various documents issued by the relevant tax collection agencies in Taiwan?

  If the taxpayers are all the co-owners, the payment notice may be served on only one of them; the tax collection authority shall issue a separate notice of tax assessment and specify the person to whom the payment notice is served and the payment period. It shall be delivered to all public co-owners before the donation date. However, if it is unclear whether there are common co-owners, an announcement may be made instead, and it will take effect from the day after the announcement board is pasted.
The tax collection authority may, in the case of a case approved based on the taxpayer's declaration materials, make a public announcement stating that the declaration has been approved, in lieu of filling out and serving the tax assessment notice. However, if there are other provisions in each tax law, such provisions shall prevail.

Q:
