Employer of Record Taiwan helps businesses expand into Taiwan without the complexity of setting up a legal entity. AYP provides trusted Employer of Record Taiwan solutions that empower your business to hire and manage employees in Taiwan while remaining fully compliant with local employment laws. Our EOR Taiwan service takes care of employment contracts, payroll, benefits, tax compliance, and statutory filings—so you can focus on scaling your business with confidence.
Taiwan's robust economy, driven by a projected 7.3% GDP growth in 2025 and continued AI-sector dominance, makes it a critical hub for technology and manufacturing. An Employer of Record Taiwan eliminates the bureaucratic hurdles of company registration and tax compliance, allowing you to deploy talent immediately in this high-growth market.
An Employer of Record (EOR) Taiwan is a third-party service that legally employs your workers in Taiwan on your behalf. While you maintain day-to-day operational control, the EOR handles all legal employment responsibilities, including payroll, statutory insurance (NHI/LI), tax withholding, and compliance with the Taiwan Labor Standards Act (LSA).
The EOR model is essential in Taiwan, where labor laws are strictly enforced and bureaucratic procedures for foreign entities can be complex. With the minimum wage rising to NT$29,500 in 2026 and new "Flexible Parental Leave" policies taking effect, EORs provide the necessary infrastructure to navigate these changes effortlessly.
The relationship creates a seamless experience where you retain operational control while transferring legal liabilities to local experts who understand Taiwan's unique "guanxi" (relationship) culture and strict labor regulations.
Taiwan remains the global anchor for semiconductor manufacturing and AI hardware, offering a highly educated workforce and advanced infrastructure. The "AI Boom" has driven 2025 growth to a 15-year high, positioning 2026 as a year of stabilized, high-value expansion.
Navigating Taiwan's employment landscape requires strict adherence to the Labor Standards Act (LSA). Taiwan laws heavily favor employee protection, mandating specific contract terms, overtime calculations, and severance formulas.

*Note: Labor Insurance premium rate increased to 12.5% in 2025/2026.*
Taiwan is actively recruiting foreign talent through the Employment Gold Card program.
Termination in Taiwan is strictly regulated under the LSA. "At-will" employment does not exist.
