| 1947 | When Taiwan was freed from Japanese rule, we took over the tax section in the general administration department of Taipei City State, and we were renamed Taipei County First Revenue Service Bureau and Taipei County Second Revenue Service Bureau. In January 1947, we assumed the name of Taipei County Revenue Service Bureau under which were seven branch offices in Haishan, Yilan, Luodong, Ruifang, Tamsui, Wenshan, and Xinzhuang. |
| 1950 | In November 1950, we were ordered to revert Luodong and Yilan branches to Yilan County to form Yilan County Revenue Service Bureau, abolish Haishan branch, rename Wenshan branch Xindian branch, and rename Xinzhuang branch Sanchong branch. We were reassigned to Taiwan Provincial Government, Finance Department. In January 1952, we were assigned to Taipei County Government while taking order also from Taiwan Provincial Government, Finance Department. Taipei County was vast, it bordered Taipei City, it enjoyed rapid industrial development, and it saw population growth year after year. To make our services more accessible to tax payers, we opened a Zhonghe branch in June 1979 in Zhonghe City, a Xinzhuang branch in May 1991 in Xinzhuang City, a Xizi office staffed with a temporary task force in September 1992, which we elevated to Xizi branch in December 2000 based on the authority given in the Organizational Rules of Taipei County Revenue Service. |

The responsibilities of each section were as follows. The first section handled business taxes, stamp taxes, security trading taxes, income taxes for for-profit entities. The second section handled land value taxes, land value increment taxes, farm taxes, deed taxes, fees on benefit received from construction, and house property taxes. The third section handled commodity taxes, catering and recreation taxes, slaughter taxes, and vehicular usage license taxes.

We established the fifth section in 1962 to handle aggregate income taxes, estate taxes, and gift taxes. |
