how about the tax in Taiwan?
hi,does any people work for taiwan company before? Like you are not in Taiwan,but you work for them,they pay you by US dollars. They charge me 20% tax,that is very high.I only earn 8$ per hour.so that is almost half of my payment. I know in USA,they will return your tax every year if you have low-income.So how about in Taiwan?The company told me taiwan government charged me tax not them and I should ask my government about tax return. Thank you!

Yes, it is the tax rate for Foreign workers employed by Taiwan-based companies. Income tax of 20% is high? Comparing to US or Canada, it's pretty low; comparing to Hong Kong it is high. However, if you're not lived in Taiwan, the tax rate is slightly different and you can not get the allowance as well (e.g. housing deduction, health insurance).

Would one have any problem speaking standard Mandarin in Taiwan
Would one have any problem speaking standard Mandarin in Taiwan?
I'm studying Mandarin and thinking of working maybe in Taiwan, since the wages are better than China's. I'd want to get speaking practice (main reason for going there actually), so would this be a problem? Is it more commonly spoken than Taiwanese?

The official language is Chinese mandarin (traditional Chinese character set)

Mandarin is the official language in Taiwan. But, if you are learning Mandarin as a second language, you may find it more difficult to understand spoken Mandarin in Taiwan. You might need to get used to it first, since native speakers typically speak faster.
3 :
You'll do fine. There are some variations between Mandarin as spoken on Taiwan and Mandarin as spoken in Beijing, but they aren't major. You will have to learn traditional characters though as that's what is used on Taiwan.

You'll be fine. The only difference between the Mandarin in Taiwan and China's is the stressed tone on some of the characters... 99.999% are the same, it's just the same as southern dialect english and the rest of the country. China seems to emphasize the curled tongue sounds better in certain aspects. but other than that, not much difference. There are the Taiwanese local dialect though... that is very different soundign than mandarin. but the characters are still the same. good luck and have fun in Taiwan, don't miss the great food at the night market. :D
5 :
there isn't much speaking difference between Chinese and Taiwanese but the writing difference is huge... maybe you will notice some "dian, wan" instead of "diar, war" and some other frequent phrases but i can't imagine how much longer it will take you to write same amount of characters (i mean handwriting)... Traditional characters is the most scary point about Taiwanese...

Hi! If English is your mother tongue then I assume you're looking for work in the teaching industry. The best way to get work would be to apply directly to any of the numerous English schools in Taiwan. Bear in mind, the better paid jobs tend to require some form of teaching qualification e.g. TEFL, CELTA, TESOL... However; some schools will probably take you in even if you don't have such a qualification. If you have any experience teaching - that would also be a plus! If you have a qualification - then I'd suggest applying for work in Taipei (you can expect a higher wage). If you don't, then there are plenty of schools in Taiwan with English teachers who's mother tongue is French, German, Afrikaans etc - you should easily be able to find work teaching English if these lot have been permitted to do so! You could try getting contacts from: http://www.davescafe.com/ http://www.tealit.com/ Happy hunting!

You said nothing about what kind of work you are looking for, but I have included a couple of links for you to look at that may be useful. This is a link to Compass. It contains lots of information about Taiwan. http://www.taiwanfun.com/central/taichung/index.htm This link is mainly for teaching English in Taiwan, but it also has lots of useful information and a section for jobs other than teaching. http://tealit.com/

Hi, With English as your First language and Mandarin,Hokkien as 2nd language , with a background in PR , You should write to the Personel Dept of the major Hotels here. You can also apply for a job as an assistant to the GM of Major Hotels.

You can use newspaper want ad, and employment agencies there. Please always have an open mind, and never let any cultural flukes discourage or upset you. As long as you are honest, alert and peaceful in side, you should have a good time there. Who knows, once you integrate into the society, you may like it so much and don't want to leave. Can happen, because the people there are truly nice in side, although, they are not very good in express themselves. Good luck and have fun.
