Q: How can I get my license?

You who have resided in the R.O.C for more than 183 days within the same calendar year will be taxed as individual residents living in the R.O.C, following national tax regulations. At the end of each year, the party of the second part who has stayed in the country for at least 183 days within the same calendar year will be eligible for a good tax rebate on the tax paid in the first 183 days.
