In July 1991, NKIT was approved to establish the 2-Year Division of Public Finance and Taxation by the Ministry of Education. In July 1997, NKIT was promoted to technical college status. In line with the overall development of the school, the Department was approved by the Executive Yuan in the academic year of 1999 to be transformed into a 4-Year Department of Public Finance and Taxation.
