In general, provisions or reserves for expenses are not deductible when calculating Taiwan income tax liability. However, enterprises can deduct a reserve set aside for a government approved retirement fund. The maximum deductible amount for such reserve is up to 15% of the company's payroll. Such reserves must be on the accounting books of the enterprise, and not off the books just for tax purposes.
