According to the “2014 White Paper on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises”, more than half of the sole proprietorship partnerships in my country's SMEs account for 57.53% (of which 1.85% are partnerships and 55.68% are sole proprietorships), and they employ a considerable number of workers. However, in accordance with the Ministry of Finance's announcement "The highest standard of borrowing rates for profit-making businesses and the usual level of employee salaries in 2013", the usual level of employee salaries for general employees of sole proprietorships or partnerships is limited to NT$50,000, which exceeds part of the tax. The donation agency will not recognize it. If the amendments to the salary increase and tax reduction provisions of the SME Development Regulations are passed, and the relevant supporting amendments are not in place, the sole proprietorship partnership responds to the salary increase policy and raises the salary of the grassroots employees. It is feared that the salary increase will stagnate at 50,000 yuan, or the salary will be exactly 50,000 yuan The dilemma of being unable to raise pay for the yuan. Therefore, at this meeting, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Ministry of Finance have joined hands in reviewing the appropriate relaxation of the "Maximum Standards for Profit-Based Borrowing Rates and the Normal Standards of Staff Salaries". The maximum salary levels for general employees of sole proprietorship partnerships are reported in order to implement the Executive Yuan's policy of encouraging salary increases. Goodwill.
