Taiwan Corruption Report
Last updated:
Snapshot
Corruption does not represent a major obstacle for business operating or planning to invest in Taiwan. However, there are several reports of official corruption. These can be traced back to the close ties between politics and business which have raised the risks of corruption particularly in public procurement. Petty corruption, however, is very uncommon in most sectors. Taiwanese anti-corruption law is primarily contained in the Anti-Corruption Act, the Criminal Code and the Organic Statute for Anti-Corruption Administration and the government generally implemented these laws effectively. Taiwan’s Agency Against Corruption defines low-level gratuities; therefore, any facilitation payment could be viewed as a bribe by the courts.
