Tax incentives and deal structures in Taiwan

Tax incentives for angel investors
Under the Statute for Industrial Innovation, an angel investing at least NT$1M in a qualifying high-risk startup (under 2 years old) and holding the shares for at least 2 years can deduct up to 50% of the investment — capped at NT$3M per year — from personal taxable income. The National Development Fund also co-invests heavily alongside private venture capital.
Common investment instruments
Convertible notes are used at early stages; priced equity is commonly structured through the 'closely-held company limited by shares' (閉鎖性股份有限公司) form, which since 2015 permits flexible preferred-share terms suited to venture deals.

Frequently asked questions about raising in Taiwan

How does Taiwan's angel investor tax deduction work?
Introduced in 2017 under the Statute for Industrial Innovation, the scheme lets an individual angel deduct up to 50% of a qualifying investment from their personal taxable income. The investor must put in at least NT$1M in a single high-risk innovative startup that is under two years old, and must hold the shares for at least two years. The deduction is capped at NT$3M per investor per year.
Why is Taiwan's semiconductor ecosystem important for startups?
Taiwan produces the majority of the world's advanced logic chips through TSMC and a dense cluster of foundries, IC-design houses, and component makers. For hardware and deep-tech startups this means fast, high-quality prototyping, access to world-class fabrication, and a talent pool of experienced hardware engineers — advantages that are hard to replicate elsewhere.
What role does the National Development Fund play?
Taiwan's National Development Fund (NDF) is a large government investment vehicle that co-invests in venture funds and directly in strategic startups, particularly in semiconductors, AI, biotech, and green energy. Its participation both adds capital and signals policy support, and it often anchors funds run by managers such as Taiwania Capital.
What is a closely-held company and why do startups use it?
The closely-held company limited by shares (閉鎖性股份有限公司), available since a 2015 Company Act reform, is a corporate form with fewer than 50 shareholders that permits flexible arrangements such as multiple classes of preferred stock, differential voting, and vesting. It gives Taiwanese startups the term-sheet flexibility venture investors expect without needing an offshore holding company.
