In response to the U.S. President's imposition of a 32% countervailing tariff on Taiwanese products, the Minister of Finance announced three industry support measures, including financial assistance, administrative simplification, and tax incentives, aimed at helping businesses stabilize their funding operations, reduce costs, and enhance transformation capabilities.

• Financial support: The Ministry of Finance will provide a trade financing limit of up to NT$200 billion. Enterprises that export to the United States or its related industries, and have revenue declines of more than 15% compared to the baseline period, can apply for interest reduction benefits; loan interest rates for general enterprises can be reduced by 1%; for small and medium-sized enterprises or those severely affected by tariffs, the interest rate can be lowered to 1.5%, with a budget allocation of NT$12 billion.
• In addition, the Ministry of Finance will also provide an export insurance coverage limit of NT$165 billion, with a budget of NT$2 billion for this measure.
• Tax incentives: Enterprises’ R&D expenditures can offset up to 15% of their current year's corporate income tax; for digital transformation projects such as smart machinery and 5G implementation, expenditures up to NT$1 billion can enjoy a tax credit rate of 3% to 5%.
