Taiwan Company – Capital Audit Report
Q: | What is the purpose of the capital audit report? |
A: |
When the capital is remitted, the company should ask a certified public accountant legally registered in Taiwan to assist in issuing a capital audit report to prove to the government that the capital is in place and allow the company to be registered. |
Q: | May one provide only a remittance receipt to the government as proof of capital contribution? |
A: |
No, it is required to submit a capital verification report issued by a certified accountant legally registered in Taiwan as proof of capital contribution. |
Q: | Can the issuance date of the capital verification report be specified? |
A: |
No, it must correspond to the actual date of the capital remittance. |
Q: | If the account-opening bank does not provide a passbook, what type of proof should be submitted to the accountant to issue a verification report? |
A: |
One may inquire with the bank to see if they can issue a deposit balance certificate as supporting evidence for the capital remittance. |
Q: | Is it possible to contribute capital through means other than cash? |
A: |
Yes. If contributions are made through services or other methods, a valuation report must be issued by a legally certified appraiser in Taiwan. The report must then be reviewed and verified by an accountant before a capital verification report can be issued. |
