  • have obtained a letter issued by the Taiwan tax office stating that you are entitled to a reduced withholding rate (財政部臺北國税局函)

Document to submit (for a letter claiming a reduced withholding rate):

To prove the reduced withholding rate, please provide for our review the approval letter indicating a reduced withholding tax rate issued by the Taiwan tax office that reflects an agreement with Google Play.
