(a) Corporate Income Taxes (“CIT”)

 

Nevada

 

Nevada does not have a corporate income tax.

 

Australia

 

Under Australian tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate is 30%, or 25% if the company qualifies as a base rate entity (with annual turnover less than AUD 50 million and 80% or less of its assessable income from passive sources). In addition, there is no time limit for the carryforward of tax losses, allowing them to be carried forward indefinitely. However, when a company applies carried-forward losses, it must pass either the Continuity of Ownership Test (COT) or the Same Business Test (SBT) to ensure that the loss deduction complies with the regulations.

 

Taiwan

 

Under Taiwan tax law, the applicable corporate income tax rate is fixed at 20% effective from January 1, 2019. Operating losses may be carried forward to the tenth succeeding tax year when a “blue return” is filed or when the return is certified by an independent certified public accountant. No carry-back of losses is permitted.
