In 2027, Taiwan has 24 days off for public holidays (including substitute days) and 7 other observances that are not days off. There are 9 breaks of three days or more; the longest is 7 days for New Year's Eve Eve, New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year (Thu, Feb 4 – Wed, Feb 10).
Taiwan’s national holidays are set by the Act for the Implementation of Commemorative Days and Holidays. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding working day is given off; when it falls on a Sunday, the following working day is given off. Lunar New Year holidays that fall on a weekend are also carried over.
Each year the Directorate-General of Personnel Administration publishes the government office calendar for the following year, occasionally adding bridge holidays with a make-up Saturday. Most private employers follow it, but the Labor Standards Act and individual employment terms decide what applies to a given employee.
Holidays are calculated from current law and announced arrangements and are for reference only; the local government’s announcement is authoritative. Select a date to open it in the calendar.
