(CNA, Taipei, May 20, by reporter Lu Yen-tzu) The Executive Yuan will launch a comprehensive support program for individuals from 0 to 18 years old next week. Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) Vice Chairperson Chen Yen-liang confirmed today that a 'Youth version of TISA (Taiwan Individual Savings Account)' will be announced next week. The main goal is to help youth have their 'first pot of gold' by the time they turn 18, with further concessions on handling and management fees in an integrated investment plan. On the 19th, the Executive Yuan announced it would roll out a comprehensive support program for ages 0 to 18, including promoting tax deductions for 'infant-rearing housing' and more reasonable planning for marriage leave, maternity leave, and paternity leave. The entire plan is expected to be sent to the Executive Yuan Council for approval on the 28th. During a session of the Legislative Yuan's Finance Committee this morning, DPP Legislator Lee Kwen-cheng raised concerns about policy directions such as property and land tax reductions for infant-rearing housing. Minister of Finance Chuang Tsui-yun explained that discussions are currently heading in this direction, but details require further study. Lee mentioned that while systems like the preschool special deduction and education tuition special deduction already exist, there is only a tax exemption and no special deduction for the '7 to under 18' age group, and asked if this could be enhanced. Chuang said this proposal is also a direction the Ministry of Finance is studying, and the Executive Yuan will present a comprehensive report. Additionally, Lee also inquired about the planning progress of the 'Youth TISA.' Chen said it is currently under intensive deliberation and an integrated plan for investment and asset accumulation will be launched soon, such as offering concessions on handling and management fees for investment trust products. As for whether the government will provide subsidies, Chen stated that a clear announcement is expected next week. The direction is positive but it will not be a traditional subsidy model. The main goal is to help youth have their 'first pot of gold' by age 18, and the government will certainly provide support. (Editor: Yang Kai-hsiang)
