2.

2. Banking enterprises that engage in foreign exchange settlement against the New Taiwan dollar business in accordance with Subparagraph 3, paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Regulations for Declaration shall enquire online about accumulated settlement amount of the current year, and:

(1) Banking enterprises shall prevent the declarant from using third party names to make declaration.

(2) The settlement amount limit of a person who holds an Alien Resident Certificate with less than one year validity shall be handled on the same basis as that of a non-resident, and the banking enterprise is not required to enquire online about the accumulated settlement amount of the current year.

But the nature of the foreign exchange settlement shall be related to the purchase of real estate.

(4) A declarant may settle the inward remittance which has originally been remitted out of the R.O.C. and counted toward the declarant's Annual Aggregate Settlement Amount ; then the Aggregate Settlement Amount restrictions stipulated by Subparagraph 3, paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Regulations for Declaration are not applicable, and it is not required to enquire the accumulated settlement amount of the current year. In addition, the banking enterprise shall write down the amount and the date of foreign exchange sale of inward remittances on the declarant's original Foreign Exchange Sale Memo, affix the signature/seal, and retain a photocopy for future reference.

(5) The enquired accumulated settlement amount of the current year shall be printed out on the banking enterprise's receipt slip of the Declaration tatement of Foreign Exchange Receipts and Disbursements or Transactions (hereinafter referred to as " Declaration Statement") to facilitate on-site examination by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan)(hereinafter referred to as "the Bank") and other financial auditing authorities.

Banking enterprises that engage in foreign exchange settlement against the New Taiwan dollar in accordance with Subparagraph 4, paragraph 1, Article 4, of the Regulations for Declaration shall be aware that the settlement amount for a single transaction is limited to a maximum of US dollars 100,000, and shall strive to prevent declarants from breaking up large settlements into smaller ones to avoid the provision of Article 6 of the Regulations for Declaration specifying that large amount foreign exchange settlement may be completed only after obtaining the Bank's approval. Banking enterprises that engage in foreign exchange settlement against the New Taiwan dollar in accordance with paragraph 3, Article 5 of the Regulations for Declaration shall be aware that the accumulated settlement amount shall not exceed the limit approved by the competent authorities.

4.

4. As for a private enterprise with prior approval from the Department of Foreign Exchange of the Bank (hereinafter referred as "the Department") to convert the funds borrowed from foreign financial institutions into New Taiwan dollars for medium- and long-term investments in Taiwan, the banking enterprise may process the exchange settlements for principal and repayments of principal and interest of the loan for the said enterprise using "the Schedule of Withdrawal and Repayment of Medium- and Long-Term Loans from Overseas Financial Institutions by Private Enterprises" that bears the seal of the Department. The amount of foreign exchange thus settled will not be counted toward the accumulated settlement amount of the current year for the said enterprise.

Except for the approved cases described in the preceding paragraph, the amount of foreign exchange sold or purchased by a private enterprise in relation to funds borrowed overseas for which the enterprise has filled out the "Statement of Medium- and Long-Term External Debts by Private Enterprises", and subsequent repayments of principal and interest shall be counted toward the accumulated settlement amount of the current year of the said enterprise.

If the declarant does not have a uniform identification number, write down the Permit number and specify the country of origin as "Mainland China" and annotate "people of the Mainland China Area" on the Foreign Exchange Purchase (Sale) Memo.

For an overseas Chinese holding a ROC passport issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the ROC or a resident of Hong Kong or Macau holding a Taiwan Entry and Exit Permit, the settlement amount shall be the same as that for a non-resident.

A person needs not fill out a Declaration Statement for settling foreign exchange against the New Taiwan dollar for an amount of less than 500,000 New Taiwan dollars on a single transaction, and the amount of settlement will not be counted toward his or her accumulated settlement amount of the current year. Banking enterprises shall, however, be aware and strive to prevent the declarant from breaking up large settlements into smaller ones to evade enquiry about the accumulated settlement amount of the current year.

If a natural person less than 20 years of age residing in the territory of the R.O.C. wishes to purchase foreign exchange for the payment of travel expenses, or sell foreign exchange for living expenses in Taiwan, received donations, or unspent travel expenses, the banking enterprise may process the settlement after verifying the person's identification document if the amount of each transaction is less than 500,000 New Taiwan dollars.
