Department of Finance

In order to provide citizens with more diverse ways to pay fees, from December 23th, 2013, the Taipei City Government (TCG) will increase 51 agencies accepting citizens to pay about 150 kinds of fees for the TCG by the Easycard at the counters. For enhancing the public awareness of this convenient policy, the TCG has held a press conference at the Shen, Bao-Jhen Hall, which is at the courtyard of TCG’s first floor, on December 24th. Besides the Mayor coming in person and delivering a speech, the attendance includes the Easycard Corporation, and other Departments of TCG——the Department of Finance, Department of Land, Department of Civil Affairs, Department of Transportation, Department of Sports, etc, which are about 50 agencies.

During the press conference, the Mayor and Directors of each department held the Easycards on the model Easycard sensor, announcing the activation of this convenient policy. After the mayor personally imitated swiping the card on the sensor model of the sport center and used the treadmill, he later went to the Service Center in the TCG to apply for the Copy of City Governmental Land Document.

Mayor Hao also reminded that for encouraging citizens to exploit the measure, the Easycard Corporation has specially held the event of “Drawing Lots Weekly for the Easycard Value of NT$ 10,000 (only for the new payment categories since December 23th, 2013)”.
