Company dissolution services

Three ways to legally close your company.

Your company remains a legal entity until formal closure steps are completed. There are three main ways to do so: voluntary dissolution and deregistration, liquidation (either voluntary or bankruptcy), and government-ordered closure.

  • Voluntary dissolution and deregistration

    If you choose to cease operations, you can dissolve the company through a shareholder resolution. After settling debts and obtaining tax clearance, the company can be deregistered with the authorities.

  • Liquidation (Bankruptcy or voluntary liquidation)

    If your company is facing financial difficulties, you may undergo liquidation. This can be either a voluntary liquidation initiated by shareholders or a court-ordered liquidation if the company is insolvent.

  • Government-ordered closure

    If a company fails to comply with regulatory requirements, such as tax filings or licensing obligations, the government may revoke its registration and force dissolution.

FAQ

Common questions & answers.

How long does it take to dissolve a company in Taiwan?

The timeframe depends on the method of dissolution. A voluntary dissolution and deregistration typically takes three to six months, while liquidation or bankruptcy may take longer, depending on the complexity of asset distribution and debt settlement.

Do I need to settle outstanding taxes before closing my company?

Yes, before a company can be deregistered, it must obtain tax clearance from the National Taxation Bureau (NTB) to ensure all outstanding tax obligations are settled.

Can I keep my company inactive instead of closing it?

Taiwan does not have an official dormant company status, but you may suspend business operations temporarily. However, you will still need to comply with certain reporting and tax requirements.

What is the difference between liquidation and deregistration?

Liquidation involves settling the company’s debts and distributing assets before closing, which is required if the company has liabilities. Deregistration is the final step after all obligations are settled, officially removing the company from the government registry.
