TSMC’s NT$326.3B tax expense was 28.4% of profit-seeking enterprise income tax.
This statistic shows the fiscal scale of Taiwan’s flagship semiconductor company against national tax aggregates. Taiwan does not publish a clean public semiconductor-sector corporate-tax table in the sources reviewed. TSMC’s income tax expense provides a transparent company-level proxy. The result should not be read as taxes paid only to Taiwan or as the full chip-sector contribution.
