Love, laughter and lonely clouds have inspired poets the world over. But now Taiwan wants people to find lyrical inspiration in a subject that’s also close to the heart: taxes.

The finance ministry has launched a competition for the public to write verse about initiatives aimed at making it easier to file taxes. Topics include such gems as the uniform invoice redemption app, the Taxpayer Rights Protection Act, and tax refunds on energy-saving appliances and the replacement of used vehicles.
