The Taipei National Taxation Bureau of the Ministry of Finance released a case showing that a person who donated land to an association that was not a foundation still had to pay 256,000 yuan in gift tax because the donation did not meet statutory requirements. The bureau reminded the public to check the eligibility of recipient organizations.

Facts:
- A person donated land with an announced current value of 5 million yuan to an association and was assessed 256,000 yuan in gift tax by the tax bureau.

- The annual gift tax exemption for 2024 was 2.44 million yuan. The calculation was (5 million yuan-2.44 million yuan)×10%=256,000 yuan.
- Even if the recipient organization has foundation status, it is still ineligible for tax exemption if it gives a specific person special benefits or its proportion of directors and supervisors does not meet requirements.

Firefighting vehicles face efficiency challenges when responding to emergencies on uneven roads. Firefighters say muddy terrain is difficult to navigate and can easily damage vehicles, requiring assistance from civilian off-road vehicles. Expert Chen Ho-huang stressed that suspension and center-of-gravity issues increase the risk of rollovers, and called for restrictions on vehicle modifications to be loosened. However, because road traffic safety regulations prohibit changes to wheelbase and suspension systems, legal modifications face inspection hurdles. The fundamental solution is for transportation and emergency response authorities to coordinate on a way forward.

At the annual meeting in Bangkok, IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said debt is too high in advanced economies such as the United States and Europe. The U.S. needs fiscal measures alongside growth to reduce debt, while China should expand domestic demand. She also warned that high yields have doubled debt-servicing costs for low-income countries and called for greater support for vulnerable nations.

Facts:

- IMF advised China to reduce its reliance on exports and shift its growth model from exports toward expanded domestic consumption.
- IMF summarized the policy directions for major economies as: China should consume more, the United States should save more, and Europe should invest more.
- The average debt-servicing cost of low-income countries rose from 6% of government revenue 10 years ago to 14%.
