PRC Investment in Taiwan

by Murray Bowler, Baker & McKenzie on 2009-10-22

Following the recent removal of the prohibition on PRC investment in Taiwan, which was implemented by Guidelines published by the Taiwan Government at the end of April and the end of June this year, we are receiving increasing numbers of enquiries from PRC corporates and wealthy individuals looking to invest in Taiwan businesses and securities or looking to expand to Taiwan through establishment of a subsidiary or a branch or representative office.

Although these guidelines have only just been passed and initially the number of investments may be quite slow as the interested parties will need time to assess opportunities, we expect that before long there will be considerable interest by PRC parties in pursuing these opportunities in Taiwan.

PRC investment in Taiwan property is also now permitted and we may separately prepare a Client Alert concerning the relevant requirements and qualifications.
