Central News Agency (CNA Taipei, June 30) Legislators have proposed continuing the exemption of transaction tax on bond ETFs for another 10 years, and suggested including actively managed bond ETFs within the scope of this exemption. The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) reported that during the period of exemption for bond ETF transaction tax, overall net tax revenue increased by approximately NT$54.972 billion, indicating that the tax exemption is beneficial to the development of Taiwan's bond ETF market and overall tax revenue growth. Considering the similar nature of the products, it is recommended that actively managed bond ETFs be included in the scope of the temporary suspension of transaction tax. The Legislative Yuan's Finance Committee will review two proposals tomorrow: one by Democratic Progressive Party legislator Wu Ping-jung and 21 others, and another by Kuomintang legislator Li Yen-hsiu and 18 others, titled "Amendment to Article 2-1 of the Securities Transaction Tax Act" and others. FSC Chairman Peng Chin-lung will attend. According to the legislators' proposals, the government, in order to invigorate the bond market, assist businesses in fundraising, and promote the development of the capital market, has exempted transaction tax on corporate bonds and financial bonds since 2010. Subsequently, to align with new investment products and market development, the exemption was further extended to exchange-traded bond index funds in 2017. As the preferential measure of transaction tax exemption is set to expire at the end of 2026, in order to continue promoting market development, the law is being amended to extend the exemption period by another 10 years, and it is also proposed to include actively managed bond ETFs within the scope of the exemption. Legislators suggest extending the transaction tax exemption for corporate bonds, financial bonds, and passively managed bond ETFs for another 10 years, from the expiration at the end of 2026 to the end
