PART 1
Survey of Consumption Intention
on 2023 NT$ 6,000 Tax Rebates
• During a session of the Legislative Yuan on February 21, a proposal titled "Special
regulations on strengthening economic and social resilience after the pandemic and sharing
economic results for all," passed the third reading.
• To further explore consumer behavior, The EOL Group surveyed 1,000 consumers in early
February about their use of NT$ 6,000 tax rebates to understand their expected usage.
• This analysis will concurrently present the data of Quintuple Stimulus Vouchers Pre-test
Survey on September 2021 as well as the post-test of the usage of quintuple stimulus
vouchers on May 2022 for readers’ reference.

Consumer data 1: Digitization raises again

• About 60% of consumers apply online: Recently, the government announced three ways to receive NT$6,000, including an
online application for remittance to the bank account, withdrawal from ATM, or withdrawal on the post office service counter.
Among them, it is predicted that nearly 60% of consumers will apply online.
• 60% of consumers applying online, add 26% of consumers withdrawing from ATM, that is almost 84% of them choose to use
non-contract ways to receive the money. Compared to the condition of the first issuance of Quintuple Stimulus Vouchers, it is
predicted that the digitalization level of consumers raise again, and they also gradually get used to going through the
administrative process on the internet.

Consumer data 2: 46% of consumers consider the money as
a windfall

• Nearly half of the consumers think it is extra: according to the analysis data, half of the consumers consider this money as
extra. The higher the percentage of people who consider the money as "extra", the more likely it is to achieve the effect of
"revitalizing" the economy. Hence, overall, this money issuance has similar business benefits to the Quintuple Stimulus
Vouchers.

Consumer data 4: Spend more on family or
savings/investment than on personal consumption
7

• The money will be spent on family or savings/investments more than spending on personal consumption: Analyzing
the allocation of individuals, family and savings/investments, consumers prefer to spend the NT$ 6,000 Tax Rebates on family,
savings or investments. And they also prefer to spend the money on daily necessities.
• Compared to the expected usage plan of quintuple stimulus vouchers on September 2021, since the expected usage plan of
the money adds the items of savings or investment, there will be a large change on the allocation of consumers’ spending on
daily and entertainment consumption.

• Daily meals, savings, and low-cost consumables are the top three items that consumers expect to use: The proportion
of consumers expecting to spend the money on daily meals is the largest one, up to 43%, followed by the proportion of
consumers choosing savings and low-cost consumables. And both latter proportions still reach 20%.
• Prefer to use the money for stabilizing daily life: The expected consuming items of using NT$ 6,000 Tax Rebates reflect
the rising price and consumers’ anxiety towards the economic environment. Compared to the analysis of quintuple stimulus
vouchers on September 2021, the percentages of the predicted purchase of multiple items, such as low-cost
consumables, small durable goods, and large durable goods, have decreased by more than 10%.

• How will consumers spend this extra NT$ 6,000 budget
• Extra consumption needs the support of the brand: generally, nearly 50% of consumers think NT$ 6,000 is the windfall.
There are fewer promotions in each channel in the first half year and the money cannot be defined as stimulus vouchers,
therefore, generally, the brand should put more attention to creating a consuming atmosphere for stimulating consumption so
that consumers’ allocation plan could be changed.
• Daily meals have the largest development potential: From the Quintuple Stimulus Vouchers Pre-test and Post-test in
September 2021 and 2022, the proportion of actual daily consumption of consumers is higher than the predicted proportion,
which means in the case of this NT$ 6,000 Tax Rebates, consumers may have a higher proportion on spending the money on
daily consumption under the influence of the social, economic and political environment.
• Marketing suggestions
• Provide the promotions earlier: From the Quintuple Stimulus Vouchers Pre-test and Post-test in September 2021 and 2022,
when consumers receive cash, they will have a stronger desire to purchase, and therefore, the brand should provide the
promotion as early as possible to seize the business opportunity created by the impulse buying of consumers. Try to attract the
5% of consumers who will only spend the money on extra consumption as shown in the analysis.
• Focus on the business opportunity of consumers’ daily meals and necessities: Since consumers clearly present their
preference of spending the money on daily consumption, the brand can provide more quality projects about daily meals and
life. The brand can attract consumers to spend money on bringing more color and characteristics to life, such as providing new
dishes or new products to meet consumers' requirements, or corresponding promotions
• Have a possibility to connect to the charity donation: There is no clear purpose of stimulating the economy on the reason
and promotion of NT$ 6,000 Tax Rebates, and therefore, it has less business feeling. Also, there are some disputes about the
release of the money, which may let consumers consider that the money should be used for public construction or helping
disadvantaged groups. Under this kind of consideration, the brand can have a marketing project with a connection to the
charity, creating a channel for justice and charity, so as to become the bridge between consumers and Non-profit
organizations
