After formation of a bankruptcy estate, any tax payable thereon shall be deemed an expense of the bankruptcy estate and shall be paid in full by the trustee in bankruptcy, subject to the provisions set forth under the Bankruptcy Act.

The period for collection of a specific tax shall be five (5) years commencing from the date following the expiration date of the period for payment of said tax. Any tax which is collectable but has not been collected during the period for tax collection shall no longer be collectable, except that the tax for which a request for compulsory execution has been forwarded to the Administrative Enforcement Agency, or a declaration for participation in distribution has been filed with the court in accordance with the provisions of the Compulsory Execution Act, or a claim has been filed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Act and is pending.
With regard to the taxes collectable under Articles 10, 25, 26, 26-1, and 27, the period for tax collection set forth in the preceding Paragraph shall commence from the date following the expiration date of the altered period for tax payment.
Where the forwarding of a request for compulsory execution is held in abeyance under Article 39 hereof or the collection of tax is suspended under other laws, the duration of such temporary deferral or suspension of execution of taxation shall be excluded or deducted from the period for tax collection as provided in Paragraph 1.
Any uncollected tax which has been forwarded to the Administrative Enforcement Agency for compulsory execution shall be effective for 5 years commencing from the date following the expiration date of the period for tax collection. The period of execution, starting on a date within the five-year period, may remain effective for a period of five more years after the end of the five-year period. In the case that at the end of the said ten years (five plus five) that the compulsory execution has not yet been concluded, such order will no longer be effective.
Where a case has been forwarded to the Administrative Enforcement Agency for compulsory execution before the amendment on March 5, 2007, but has not yet been concluded, it cannot remain open for more than five years commencing from the date of this amendment. However, should a taxpayer fail to pay off an amount of tax of NT$10,000,000 or more by the end of March 4, 2017 or should any one of the following circumstances occur during the period of execution, the case may still remain open until the end of March 4, 2032:
1.Where a confirmed verdict of the arrest or custody has been issued to a taxpayer by the court through the petition of the Administrative Enforcement Agency in accordance with Article 17 of the Administrative Execution Act.
2.Where an injunction is issued to a taxpayer by the Administrative Enforcement Agency in accordance with Paragraph 1, Article 17-1 of the Administrative Execution Act.
