The National Taxation Bureau of Taipei, Ministry of Finance, reminded the public to link the email carrier used by offshore electronic service suppliers to their mobile barcode and complete remittance settings before the uniform invoice draw so that any prize money won will be automatically remitted to a designated financial account.

The Bureau further explained that, pursuant to Article 7-1 of the Regulations Governing the Use of Uniform Invoices, offshore electronic service suppliers that sell electronic services to domestic natural persons are required to issue cloud invoices to consumers. As offshore electronic service suppliers use the email address provided by consumers at the time of purchase as the carrier for storing cloud invoices, consumers should ensure that they provide a correct and valid email address when purchasing electronic services.

The Bureau noted that if consumers link the email carrier used by offshore electronic service suppliers to their mobile barcode and complete remittance settings on the E-Invoice Platform, Ministry of Finance, before the uniform invoice draw for the relevant period, the platform will automatically check invoices against the winning numbers after the draw. Any prize money won will be directly remitted to the designated financial account, thereby reducing the risk of missing prize money.

The Bureau calls on consumers who purchase electronic services from offshore electronic service suppliers to provide a correct email address, link the carrier to their mobile barcode, and complete remittance settings before the uniform invoice draw in order to avoid missing any prize money.
