Submitting a withholding-tax certificate, form 50 bis in Taiwan — how must it be translated and certified?

What the enquirer needs to know is “Submitting a withholding-tax certificate, form 50 bis in Taiwan”, so the answer below starts with what this case actually needs before setting out the general rules. The specifics here are document type: Tax50; destination: Tw, and those decide which translation and certification level applies. The terms that frame this page are Submitting · withholding-tax · certificate, · form. The common failure in this group of cases is a translation that does not match the certification type required. The deciding factor is the receiving body's requirement, not only the format of the Thai-side document. Before starting, ask in advance which category of certified translator the destination accepts, then plan the timeline so certification finishes before the real filing deadline, then keep a digital copy of every page, including seals and signatures. For documents going abroad, include international shipping time in the plan. If multiple certified sets are needed, order them all in the first round to avoid re-queuing. Note who signed each certification and on what date for later reference. Attach a document index to the bundle so nothing is lost during review. The next step is confirming the filing channel and the copy or file format required. A Thai labour document intended for use abroad is normally translated into the target language, then submitted for certification of the translation to the Legalisation Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and afterwards to the embassy or consulate of the destination country where that country requires it. Thailand is not a party to the Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalisation for foreign public documents, so no Apostille is issued for Thai documents. Names, dates, job titles and wage figures must match across every document in the same set. If the spelling on an employment certificate differs from the passport or ID card, the issuer should correct the original before translation, because a translator has no authority to alter source text and changing only the translation creates an inconsistency that gets the file returned. Thailand has no common-law notary public. Certification of signatures, true copies or affidavits for overseas use is performed by a Notarial Services Attorney registered under the rules of the Lawyers Council of Thailand. In labour files the documents most often signature-certified are powers of attorney, self-declarations and statements filed with foreign authorities. Cost and lead time depend on page count, target language, how many certified sets are needed and the steps the receiving authority requires, so every file is quoted before work starts.
