NetSuite Localization for Taiwan: Unlocking Business Opportunities Across the Strait

As international businesses look to expand their operations, Taiwan represents an attractive market with its robust economy, strategic location, and business-friendly environment. However, successfully entering the Taiwanese market requires careful localization of your NetSuite ERP system to meet local requirements. At ONE Pacific, we specialize in helping businesses navigate these complexities.

Understanding Taiwan's Unique Business Environment

Taiwan combines elements of traditional Chinese culture with distinctive local practices and stringent regulatory requirements. With a GDP of over $600 billion and strong technology, manufacturing, and service sectors, Taiwan offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand.

However, Taiwan has specific business practices and regulations that must be addressed in your NetSuite implementation:

1. Taiwanese Tax Regulations: Taiwan maintains unique tax codes including VAT (known locally as Business Tax), withholding taxes, and specific e-invoice requirements that differ from global standards.
2. Traditional Chinese Characters: Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters, which require proper language pack implementation and customization for accurate business terminology.
3. Local Accounting Standards: Taiwan follows its own accounting principles with distinct differences from IFRS and other international standards.
4. Banking and Payment Systems: Taiwan has unique payment methods and banking integration requirements that need specialized configuration.
