About TWLookup
TWLookup aggregates publicly released Taiwan company registration data so that every fact can be traced back to its original source and retrieval date. The site does not originate company data, and does not make judgements about what the registry records.
Data sources
| Publisher | Dataset | Update cadence |
|---|---|---|
| 財政部財政資訊中心 | National business (tax) registration dataset | Source updates daily; imported on a periodic cadence |
| 經濟部商業發展署 | Company status, dissolution, representative and director datasets | Monthly |
| 經濟部產業發展署 | Registered factory roster | Irregular; observed roughly monthly |
Licence
The government datasets above are released under the Open Government Data License, Version 1.0 (Taiwan). TWLookup reproduces and transmits them under that licence, with the publishing agency attributed.
Known limitations
- Registry data reflects what was filed, not a company’s actual operations or supply capability.
- The tax registry and the MOEA company registry can disagree on status; TWLookup shows the MOEA company status in preference.
- MOEA company status covers roughly 75.9% of companies; outside that coverage only the tax-registry status is shown.
- Datasets are imported on different schedules; the update date shown next to each field is authoritative for that field.
- The English edition covers only companies with a registered English name; all others are available in Chinese only.
Corrections
TWLookup cannot change what the registry records. If the registration itself is wrong, apply to the publishing agency for a correction. If this site displays something that disagrees with its source, please report it.
