significant differences between Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs is set forth below. The regulatory organizations that promulgate Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs have initiated ongoing projects that may affect future comparisons such as the comparison below. This
summary does not and is not intended to provide a comprehensive listing of all existing or future differences between Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs, including those specifically related to TSMC Limited or to the industries in which it operates. No attempt
has been made to identify future differences between Taiwan-IFRSs and IFRSs as a result of prescribed changes in accounting standards, or disclosure, presentation or classification differences that would affect the manner in which transactions and
events are reflected in the financial statements of TSMC Limited or the notes thereto. Further, had TSMC Limited undertaken to identify the differences specifically affecting the financial statements presented in this prospectus supplement, other
potentially significant differences which are not in the following summary may have come to its attention. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that this summary provides a complete description or quantifies the effects of all differences which

securities between Participants through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of its Participants. The Participants include securities brokers and dealers (including the Underwriters), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain

organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the R.O.C. for profit-making purposes and does not have a fixed place of business or other permanent establishment in the R.O.C. Foreign entities that have a fixed place of business or other
permanent establishment in the R.O.C. are taxed under different rules. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All payments, except the payment of the principal amount, under

residence of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Resident</FONT> holder, if any, depending on the nature of such payments. In general, the interest payment on the Notes under the Guarantees by the Guarantor to a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Resident</FONT> holder would likely constitute R.O.C.-sourced income and therefore be subject to a 20% withholding tax. However, such payments may be subject to a withholding tax at different rates under an
applicable tax treaty between the R.O.C. and the country of tax residence of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-Resident</FONT> holder. Therefore, holders of the Notes who are otherwise entitled to the benefits of a relevant income tax treaty
should consult their own tax advisers concerning their eligibility for benefits under the treaty with respect to the Notes. If any deduction or withholding is required by law with respect to the amount guaranteed under the Guarantees, the Guarantor
will pay additional amounts, in accordance with the terms of the Notes, as may be necessary to ensure that the holders of the Notes receive the amounts guaranteed under the Guarantees that would otherwise have been receivable in the absence of such
deduction or withholding, subject to certain exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>If you are considering the purchase of Notes, you should consult your own tax

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Interest on a Note will generally be taxable to you as ordinary income at the time it is paid or accrued in accordance with your method of
accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. In addition to interest on the Notes, which includes any foreign tax withheld from the interest payments received, you will be required to include in income any additional amounts paid in
respect of any such foreign withholding tax. Interest income (including any additional amounts) on a Note will generally be considered foreign source income and, for purposes of the United States foreign tax credit, will generally be considered
passive category income. You may be entitled to credit any foreign withholding tax, subject to certain limitations. For instance, if you are eligible for the benefits of an income tax treaty that provides for a reduced rate of withholding, you
generally will not be entitled to a foreign tax credit for any amounts withheld in excess of the applicable treaty rate. In addition, you will generally be denied a foreign tax credit for foreign taxes imposed with respect to the Notes where you do
not meet a minimum holding period requirement during which you are not protected from risk of loss. Any <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-income</FONT> taxes (such as any value added tax) generally will not be eligible for a foreign tax credit,
but you may be entitled to deduct any such taxes, subject to the limitations described below. The rules governing the foreign tax credit are complex. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit
under your particular circumstances. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Instead of claiming a foreign tax credit, you may elect to deduct any foreign withholding taxes in
computing your taxable income, subject to applicable limitations. An election to deduct foreign taxes instead of claiming foreign tax credits must apply to all foreign taxes paid or accrued in the taxable year. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the
amount you realize upon the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition (less an amount equal to any accrued but unpaid interest, which will be taxable as interest income to the extent not previously included in income) and your adjusted
tax basis in the Note. Your adjusted tax basis in a Note will generally be your cost for that Note. Any gain or loss you recognize will generally be capital gain or loss and will generally be long-term capital gain or loss if you have held the Note
for more than one year. Long-term capital gains of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-corporate</FONT> U.S. holders (including individuals) are eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.
Any gain or loss you recognize will generally be treated as United States source gain or loss. Consequently, you may not be able to claim a credit for any foreign tax imposed upon a disposition of a Note unless such credit can be applied (subject to
applicable limitation) against tax due on other income treated as derived from foreign sources. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Information with Respect to Foreign Financial Assets

higher threshold) may be required to file an information report with respect to such assets with their tax returns. &#147;Specified foreign financial assets&#148; may include financial accounts maintained by foreign financial institutions, as well
as the following, but only if they are held for investment and not held in accounts maintained by financial institutions: (i)&nbsp;stocks and securities issued by <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-United</FONT> States persons, (ii)&nbsp;financial
instruments and contracts that have <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-United</FONT> States issuers or counterparties, and (iii)&nbsp;interests in foreign entities. You are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the application of this
reporting requirement to your ownership of the Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Backup Withholding and Information Reporting </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Information reporting may apply to all payments of interest and principal on a Note and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of a Note
paid to you, unless you are an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments or proceeds if you fail to provide your taxpayer identification number or a certification that you are not subject to backup withholding, or if you fail
to report in full dividend and interest income. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup
withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your United States federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service. </P>

SECURITIES </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, when we refer to the &#147;holders&#148; of debt securities as being entitled
to specified rights or payments, we mean only the actual legal holders of the debt securities. While you will be the holder if you hold a security registered in your name, more often than not the registered holder will actually be a broker, bank,
other financial institution or, in the case of a global security, a depository. The obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor, as well as the obligations of the trustee, any registrar, any depository and any third parties employed by the Issuer,
the Guarantor or the other entities listed above, run only to persons who are registered as holders of debt securities, except as may be specifically provided for in a contract governing the debt securities. For example, once the Issuer or the
Guarantor make payment to the registered holder, the Issuer and/or the Guarantor have no further responsibility for the payment even if that registered holder is legally required to pass the payment along to you as a street name customer but does
not do so. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Street Name and Other Indirect Holders </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holding debt securities in accounts at banks or brokers is called holding in &#147;street name.&#148; If you hold debt securities in street name, the Issuer
and the Guarantor will recognize only the bank or broker, or the financial institution that the bank or broker uses to hold the debt securities, as a holder. These intermediary banks, brokers, other financial institutions and depositaries pass along
principal, interest, dividends and other payments, if any, on the debt securities, either because they agree to do so in their customer agreements or because they are legally required to do so. This means that if you are an indirect holder, you will
need to coordinate with the institution through which you hold your interest in a security in order to determine how the provisions involving holders described in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement will actually apply to you.
For example, if the debt security in which you hold a beneficial interest in street name can be repaid at the option of the holder, you cannot redeem it yourself by following the procedures described in the prospectus supplement relating to that
security. Instead, you would need to cause the institution through which you hold your interest to take those actions on your behalf. Your institution may have procedures and deadlines different from or additional to those described in the
applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you hold debt securities in street name or through other indirect means, you should check with the institution
