Running a Startup in Taiwan: Legal and Employment Issues After Incorporation

​Starting a company in Taiwan is an exciting milestone, but staying compliant after incorporation is just as important. Join us for Running a Startup in Taiwan: Legal and Employment Issues After Incorporation, a practical workshop designed for founders and startups who want to better understand the legal and HR responsibilities that come after registration.

​We are honored to be joined by representatives from Xiri Attorneys at Law, who will provide expert insights and practical guidance for startups operating in Taiwan.

​This workshop will cover two key sessions:

Session 1: Company Act Obligations, Regular Filings, and the New PDPA
Designed specifically for entrepreneurs who have just completed company registration, this session provides a roadmap for post-incorporation compliance. We will break down key obligations under the Company Act, explain essential VAT and CIT (Corporate Income Tax) rates and filing regulations, and offer a bird’s-eye view of the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). This session is your guide to ensuring your new venture hits the ground running with a solid legal foundation.

Session 2: Lawful Unilateral Termination: Employment Contracts and the “Principle of Last Resort”
Navigating employee termination is a significant challenge for startups. This session focuses on the importance of lawful termination in Taiwan. We will discuss why clear probationary clauses are vital in employment contracts and provide an in-depth analysis of the “Principle of Last Resort”. This session is your guide to document and prove that a unilateral termination is legally justified when dealing with underperforming employees.
