The Taxation Administration has announced that the statutory payment period for the house tax in 2025 is from May 1, 2025 to May 31, 2025, and the deadline shall be extended to June 2 due to the last day of the payment period falling on a holiday. Taxpayers are reminded to complete payment within the given timeframe.
The Taxation Administration states that the tax payment notice will be sent to taxpayers by mail by the tax collection authorities under their local governments. If taxpayers have lost or failed to receive their payment notices, they may apply for re-issuance with the local tax collection authorities in the same district where the house is located. Taxpayers may also use their Citizen Digital Certificate, Ministry of Economic Affairs Certification Authority (MOEACA) IC card, financial certificate, registered NHI card, or TW FidO to log into the local tax online filing website (https://net.tax.nat.gov.tw) for inquiries and payments. The Taxation Administration reminds taxpayers not to click on links from unknown sources to avoid being deceived.
In order to provide multiple convenient channels to pay tax, the Ministry of Finance provides many options, such as convenience stores, financial institutions, ATM transfers, demand (savings) deposit accounts, designated account transfers, credit cards, IC ATM cards, and electronic payment accounts. Also, taxpayers can download the“Mobile Payment Provider Tax Payment App” and scan the QR-Code on their tax payment notices. The Taxation Administration would like to remind taxpayers who have made an agreement with a financial institution or postal institution to transfer tax through a designated deposit account to please reserve a sufficient amount of deposit in the account for withdrawal. The local tax collection authorities will not ask taxpayers to confirm the balance of their deposit account via phone call. Please seek verification to avoid fraud.
Taxpayers who are unable to complete the payment within the given timeframe due to the impact of the U.S. reciprocal tariff policy may apply for a deferral or installment payments with the tax collection authority. For further information about how to apply, please visit the Ministry of Finance’s official website (https://gov.tw/6D7) for inquiries.
The Taxation Administration further explained that the house tax is a municipality and county (city) tax, and the tax revenue is one of the main financial resources of local governments. Various construction projects of local governments, including expenditures on education, culture, health care, social welfare, roads, bridges, ditches, public security, firefighting, etc. that are closely related to people's lives, all rely on house tax revenue. In order to promote local construction and prosperity, taxpayers are urged to pay the house tax as scheduled.
