TISA Account Numbers Near 200,000, Asset Scale Reaches NT$18.7 Billion – FSC Actively Negotiating Tax Incentives with Ministry of Finance

The Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) is actively promoting Taiwan's Individual Investment Savings Account (TISA) program to encourage long-term investment and financial planning among citizens. As of June 30, 2026, the total number of TISA accounts has reached 197,012, with cumulative subscription amounts totaling NT$7.761 billion and overall account assets surpassing the NT$18.7 billion mark. Notably, subscription amounts in June alone reached NT$1.29 billion, indicating sustained growth in investor participation.

Huang Hou-Ming, Deputy Director of the Securities and Futures Bureau, stated on the 21st that the FSC will continue actively negotiating with the Ministry of Finance for tax incentives.

Regarding fund offerings and distribution channels, Huang noted that as of the end of June, 25 asset management companies have launched TISA-specific share classes across 45 funds, with 16 sales institutions participating in the TISA account platform operations.

To expand TISA's service coverage, the FSC previously guided the inclusion of low-fee funds under two special programs—"Hao Xiang Tui" and the "Retirement Preparation Platform Project"—which encourage investors to hold investments for at least two years. These funds are now fully integrated into the TISA-eligible fund universe. With the integration of these two initiatives, the total number of TISA-eligible funds available to the public has increased to 77, offering citizens more diverse and cost-effective options for retirement asset allocation.

Huang remarked that the continuous growth in account numbers, subscription amounts, and asset scale reflects broad public confidence and approval of the TISA platform, as well as a shift among citizens from passive to active engagement in retirement financial planning.

The FSC hopes that TISA will continue to develop deeply, becoming a high-quality, accessible retirement financial tool that all citizens can conveniently use. Moreover, through citizens' long-term regular investments, the program aims to inject stable, continuous capital into Taiwan's domestic capital markets, fostering a virtuous cycle of financial industry development and social stability.

On the highly anticipated issue of tax incentives—such as personal comprehensive income tax exemptions or itemized deductions—Huang revealed that the FSC is still actively coordinating and negotiating with the Ministry of Finance.
