On 25 September 2026, the MOF released the winning numbers for the July–August 2026 (Year 115, 4th period) Uniform Invoice lottery. The Uniform Invoice system, a cornerstone of Taiwan’s Value-Added Tax (VAT) enforcement, incentivizes consumers to request invoices, thereby reducing tax evasion. The total prize pool for this period exceeds NT$200 million, with a Special Prize of NT$10 million, a Grand Prize of NT$2 million, and multiple First Prizes of NT$200,000. Winning invoices must be claimed within the statutory redemption period ending 30 April 2027.
Key Takeaways
- Digital Invoice Integration: Electronic invoices (e-invoices) assigned to a taxpayer’s Carrier (mobile barcode, Citizen Digital Certificate, or phone number) are automatically entered into the draw; winners are notified via the e-invoice platform and email.
- Anti-Fraud Measures: The MOF reminds the public that only invoices issued by registered businesses with valid VAT numbers qualify. Altered, photocopied, or counterfeit invoices are invalid and may incur criminal liability under the Criminal Code.
