    10. SIGNIFICANT SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     

      (1) The amendments to the Income Tax Act with retrospective effect from January 1, 2018 were passed by the Legislative Yuan on January 18, 2018, and announced by the President on February 7, 2018, respectively. According to the amendments, the imputation tax scheme under the integrated income tax system is repealed and consequently the imputation credit account is closed. In addition, the corporate income tax rate is raised from 17% to 20 %, and the 10% undistributed earnings tax is lowered to 5%. After the change of the tax rates, the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2017 will be increased by NT$917 million and decreased by NT$156 million, respectively.
