(Compliance with Regulations for Declaration)
1.Banking enterprises shall assist customers to make a truthful declaration pursuant to the "Regulations Governing the Declaration of Foreign Exchange Receipts and Disbursements or Transactions" (hereinafter referred to as the Regulations for Declaration) when customers settle foreign exchange against the New Taiwan dollar. 

( Enquiry about settlement aggregate amount)
2.Banking enterprises that engage in foreign exchange settlements against the New Taiwan dollar business in accordance with Subparagraph 3, Paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Regulations for Declaration shall enquire about the settlement aggregate amount online, and:
(1)Banking enterprises shall prevent the declarant from using the aggregate amount of a third party.
(2) The settlement aggregate amount 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 about the aggregate amount. 
(3)An individual who holds a certificate of Overseas Chinese and a document certifying the purchase of real estate in the territory of the R.O.C. issued by the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission shall be entitled to the same aggregate amount as that of a resident as described in the Regulations for Declaration. 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 Taiwan and counted toward the declarant's annual settlement aggregate amount ; then the settlement aggregate amount restrictions stipulated by Subparagraph 3, Paragraph 1, Article 4 of the Regulations for Declaration are not applicable, and the settlement aggregate amount does not need to be enquired online. 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 aggregate amount shall be printed out on the banking enterprise's receipt slip of the Declaration Statement of Foreign Exchange Receipts and Disbursements or Transactions (hereinafter referred to as the Declaration Statement) to facilitate on-site examination by the Central Bank of China (hereinafter referred to as the Bank) and other financial auditing authorities.
(Observance of settlement aggregate amount)
3. 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 United States 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 cumulative settlement amount shall not exceed the limit approved by the competent authorities.

(Settlements for declaration of medium- and long-term external debts by private enterprises)
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 dollar for medium- and long-term investments in Taiwan, the banking enterprise may process the exchange settlements for related principal and interest payments 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 included in the annual settlement aggregate amount 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 included in the annual settlement aggregate amount of the said enterprise; for exchange settlements relating to repayments of principal and interest, the banking enterprise may still process the settlements without requiring the enterprise to obtain the approval of the Department even if the said enterprise has used up its aggregate amount. 

(Other settlement cases related to aggregate amounts)
5.For people of the Mainland Area who hold Taiwan travel permits and intend to sell foreign exchange against the New Taiwan dollar, the banking enterprise may handle the case provided the amount of each settlement is less than United States dollars 100,000 or equivalent. The unspent New Taiwan dollar can be converted back into foreign currency with the submission of the original Foreign Exchange Purchase Memo which shall be reclaimed and cancelled by the banking enterprise. If the amount exceeds United States dollars 100,000, then the Department's approval is needed before the settlements of foreign exchange. When handling such cases, the banking enterprise shall write down the declarant's travel permit number, specify the country of origin as "Mainland China" and annotate "people of the Mainland 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 an Entry and Exit Permit or a Provisional Entry and Stay Notice issued by the Entry and Exit Service Bureau of the National Police Administration of the Ministry of the Interior, the settlement amount shall be the same as that for a non-resident.

6. A person need not fill out a Declaration Statement for settling foreign exchange against the New Taiwan dollar for an amount of less than New Taiwan dollars 500,000 on a single transaction, and the amount of settlement will not be counted toward his or her annual aggregate amount. Banking enterprises shall, however, be aware and strive to prevent the declarant from breaking up large settlements into smaller ones to evade reporting the settlement. 
If a natural person less than 20 years of age residing in the territory of the Republic of China wishes to purchase foreign exchange for the payment of travel expenses or living expenses in Taiwan, 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 does not exceed New Taiwan dollars 500,000.
