2026 Senior Farmer Subsidy Application Guide: Understand Automatic Property Tax Comparison and Exception Procedures at a Glance

When applying for the senior farmer subsidy, the exclusion of agricultural land value from the wealth test is automatically compared and deducted by the system. Farmers generally "do not need" to proactively apply to the Bureau of Labor Insurance for value certification. The specific procedures and special application process are as follows: 1. Automatic Comparison and Deduction (Standard Procedure): After you apply for the senior farmer subsidy in person at a local farmers' or fishermen's association or online, the Bureau of Labor Insurance will automatically conduct regular comparisons with the national property tax total account data from tax authorities. As long as your land is registered as "agricultural land" (subject to or exempt from land tax) by the tax authority, the system will automatically deduct its value when calculating the total amount of 5 million. 2. Exception for Supplementary Documentation Review (Special Circumstances): If you receive a notice from the Bureau of Labor Insurance stating that you do not meet the qualifications due to "property value exceeding 5 million" because tax and financial data was not updated in time, you must prepare the following documents and submit them to the Bureau of Labor Insurance for review within 30 days from the date of receiving the notice: • "Personal Property Ownership Data List" applied for from the tax collection authority. • "Certificate of Agricultural Land Used for Agricultural Purposes" applied for from the township (town, city, district) office where the land is located, to prove that the land is indeed legally used for agriculture. 3. Reapplication Due to Property Changes: If you were previously rejected due to exceeding property limits, and subsequently your assets decreased to below 5 million due to sale, gift, or meeting deduction conditions, you can reapply at the local farmers' association at any time by submitting property proof documents.
