Taiwan’s general accepted accounting principles (GAAP) see employee stock bonus in different point of view from International GAAP. International GAAP treats employee stock bonus as salary expenses while Taiwan GAAP treats it as profit sharing.

On January 1, 2008 Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) announced that corporate financial reports have to follow international GAAP and the employee profit-sharing is categorized into salary expenses. Expensing of employee profit-sharing is a great change of accounting principle in Taiwan. The impact on corporate employee profit-sharing programs is expected.
