The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect of the AMT system on Tax Burden by using the TSEC Taiwan 50 Index as a sample. The Taiwan 50 Index comprises the top 50 companies by market capitalization in Taiwan.

After economic indicators including corporate sizes, profits and R&D capabilities are extracted from their parent companies’ annual reports, an empirical analysis of the estimated AMT rate was undertaken. The major findings are as following: 1.The AMT system is effective in restraining tax breaks. Companies that avoid too many taxes owe more AMT. 2.The AMT system mostly applies to the most competitive and mega-sized companies in Taiwan. 3.Under the integration of the income tax system, most of the tax revenues come from individual taxpayers. In future legislation should stress the importance of personal income taxation while reconsidering the effect of the AMT system on economic efficiency and taxation equity.
