Taiwan Taxation Agreement
This is a symbolic Senate resolution (not a tax agreement bill) commending Taiwan's relations with the U.S. and South Carolina. It expresses support for U.S.-Taiwan trade ties, including the "US-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade" and a proposed "US-Taiwan Avoid Double Taxation Agreement," while highlighting Taiwan as South Carolina's 14th largest import market and 9th largest export market in 2023. The resolution encourages South Carolina to organize trade delegations to Taiwan, support cultural exchanges (like promoting Boba tea and Taiwanese American Heritage Week), and join the Taiwan Caucus. It has no binding effect and serves only as a statement of support for existing economic and diplomatic relationships.
