Business Corruption in Taiwan
Corruption does not represent a major obstacle for doing business in Taiwan (
GCR 2014-2015
). Taiwanese anti-corruption law is primarily contained in the
Anti-Corruption Act
, the
Criminal Code
and the
Organic Statute for Anti-Corruption Administration
. Three prominent forms of corruption are
bribery
in elections, illegal lobbying and the 'red envelope culture', referring to bribes given in red envelopes. Taiwan's Agency Against Corruption defines low-level gratuities; therefore, any facilitation payment could be viewed as a bribe by the courts.
