Taiwan TISA Accounts Top 120,000 as FSC Pursues Tax Incentives

Taiwan launched its Taiwan Individual Savings Account (TISA) program on July 1, 2025. The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) designed the scheme to encourage long-term, regular investments in funds with preferential terms, creating a self-funded “third pillar” of retirement provision alongside Labor Insurance and Labor Pension programs. The first phase offered lower fund management fees and transaction charges, but tax incentives are seen as crucial to broader adoption.

The FSC said on April 23, 2026, that 123,699 TISA accounts had been opened as of April 17, with cumulative subscriptions of NT$4.88 billion and total account assets of NT$13.77 billion. Subscriptions reached NT$906 million in March alone, while 25 asset managers and 43 funds had joined the program. The FSC has proposed several tax incentives for the second phase and is holding interagency talks with the Ministry of Finance, with no limits yet placed on the scope of discussions.
