Taiwan Brokers Seek 10-Year Day-Trading Tax Break Extension, Stablecoin Trials

The Taiwan Financial Services Roundtable’s interim 2026 financial policy white paper consolidates 31 major recommendations from industry groups, spanning capital-market competitiveness and financial innovation. The proposals matter because they could shape trading costs and liquidity in Taiwan’s equity market while influencing how regulators approach stablecoin services and other digital-asset applications.

The Taiwan Securities Association has proposed extending the preferential tax treatment for same-day stock trading by another 10 years, seeking greater policy certainty and continued market activity. The white paper also urges regulators to open pilot programs for stablecoin use cases at an early stage, allowing financial firms to test services and risk controls within a supervised framework.
