The Ministry of Finance offers diverse tax payment channels （as shown in the table below） to facilitate citizens’ tax payment. Taxpayers can use the Consolidated Income Tax Return e-Filing and Tax Payment System or the online tax payment service website （https://paytax.nat.gov.tw）to pay taxes using credit cards, debit cards, current（savings） deposit accounts, e-payment accounts, mobile payment tools, or designated account transfers. Moreover, taxpayers can scan the QR code on the tax bill with a mobile APP to make payments or present the tax bill at a tax collection financial institution to make payments in cash or by check. For tax amounts below NT$30,000, taxpayers can also make payments at Uni-President, FamilyMart, Hi-Life, or OK convenience stores.
