Securities Tax Revenue Surges; Legislative Yuan Approves 600 Billion TWD Increase

According to CNA, the Finance Committee of the Legislative Yuan has decided to increase the tax revenue budget for the 115th fiscal year by 600 billion TWD. This decision follows a significant surge in securities transaction tax revenue, fueled by a highly active stock market. While the government initially estimated a daily average trading volume of 428.8 billion TWD, actual figures have reached 1.3 trillion TWD. Finance Minister Chuang Tsui-yun acknowledged the strong economic performance and supported the adjustment, which aims to provide more fiscal space for national infrastructure projects.
