The U.S. House of Representatives passed the United States-Taiwan Expedited Double-Tax Relief Act, sponsored by Representative Judy Chu, in mid-January. The legislation seeks to prevent double taxation between the U.S. and Taiwan.
Congresswoman Chu said that previous laws had required Americans in Taiwan to pay income tax in both countries. She cited a survey that showed the double taxation was a hindrance to Taiwanese companies investing in the U.S.
She said that the U.S.-Taiwan Expedited Double Tax Relief Act will “create more jobs here at home and invigorate our nations’ manufacturing production, while strengthening a national security partner’s economy and promoting more mutual investment.“
Representative Chu added, “Across the country, including in the San Gabriel Valley, our economic ties with Taiwan are strong, and I am working to make them even stronger.”
