Dividend tax policy is one of the important tools of government taxation. Observing the dividend tax policy and the behavior of stock prices around ex-rights will not only shed light on investment strategies, but also give us a clearer understanding of the microstructure of the capital market. Taiwan went through dividend tax policy and National Health Insurance (NHI) supplementary premium changes from 2014 to 2016. Therefore, this paper adopts the event study method to conduct empirical research on this major event period. The research conclusion points out: (1) During the research period, the company studied had a positive cumulative abnormal return before and on the ex-right day, and there was a negative cumulative abnormal return after the ex-right day. (2) When the tax reduction effect is more favorable to investors, there will be only a positive relationship with positive abnormal returns. (3) There is no statistical significance between the dividend tax reform policy and the negative abnormal return after ex-rights. The empirical results of this paper can help to better understand the pricing process of stocks by market microstructure systems such as dividend tax policies and help build a more stable stock market transaction structure. On the other hand, investors and companies can also gain their own investment or dividend policy inspiration from this research.

This study explores the characteristics that influence the success factors of accounting firms in the introduction of a RPA system. The RPA system success factors used in this paper are based on the measurements of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Information System Success Model (ISS). In this paper, a questionnaire survey method was used, and a total of 140 questionnaires were distributed to 70 small accounting firms in Taiwan. The results of this study showed that three characteristic factors—male, higher familiarity with the system and high CEO support—were significantly positively correlated with the success factors of the RPA system in accounting firms. Due to resource constraints, small- and medium-sized accounting firms have gone through a more difficult journey of digital transformation than the Big Four. Therefore, research on digital transformation with small- and medium-sized firms as samples is a topic worthy of attention. The research conclusions of this paper can provide a reference for the accounting digital transformation strategies of the accounting industry and educational institutions.
