Taiwan’s government is offering rewards of up to NT$300,000 (US$9,300) a year per capita to members
of the public who provide information about transportation services offered by the ride-hailing company Uber, which are illegal in the country, the transportation ministry said Friday.
People who provide information that result in fines of between NT$100,000 and NT$5 million against Uber will be eligible to receive 10 percent of the fine, up to a maximum of NT$30,000 a year, the ministry said.
For those who give information that leads to fines of between NT$5 million and NT$10 million, the reward will be 1 percent, with a ceiling of NT$80,000, according to the ministry.
It said that for fines of over NT$10 million, the reward will be NT$100,000 but no one person will be eligible to receive more than NT$300,000 per year, no matter how many reports they make or the size of the fine levied against the company as a result. [FULL STORY]
