A parent company refers to a company that holds a certain percentage of shares in another company or has controlling power over another company. A subsidiary refers to a company in which a certain percentage of its shares are owned by another company or is controlled by another company. Parent companies and subsidiaries are independent legal entities and can independently bear civil liabilities. Although subsidiaries are controlled by their parent companies in many aspects, sometimes even serving as extensions of their parent companies, they are independent enterprises by law. They have their own company name and articles of association, and they conduct business in their own name. Moreover, parent companies and their subsidiaries may independently own assets.

Many companies operate in multiple countries. Branches are established in different countries to conduct business locally. The relationship between the head office and branches is similar to that of parent companies and their subsidiaries. However, the legal statuses of branches and subsidiaries are different. Branches directly conduct business on behalf of the head office. They are not legal entities, do not possess independent legal status, and can not independently bear civil liabilities. Branches do not own independent assets. Instead, they use assets owned by the head office. Branches do not have their own articles of association or management/executive departments, such as a board of directors. Branch names are typically added as a suffix after the name of the head office.

An office is the base of preparatory and auxiliary operations for foreign enterprises in Taiwan. Offices cannot conduct business directly. They may only carry out non-profit operations, such as collecting information, conducting market surveys, launching promotions, serving as a point of contact, providing quotes, and engaging in negotiations. Offices cannot engage in for-profit activities, such as accepting payment for goods and services or taking orders. Offices may list expenses once they are registered. However, the office may not declare revenue. In other words, the funds deposited into an office's bank account in Taiwan may only be used for operating expenses, employee salaries, and rent, and all withholdings must be declared. Offices must declare annual business income tax, even without revenue.
