In the years that followed, townships in Taipei, Ilan, and Nantou Counties also pushed to establish their own local taxes. Although all of these attempts were unsuccessful, the cat was out of the bag and calls to give local governments the right to levy taxes could no longer be ignored. Eventually, the Act Governing Local Tax Regulations, giving local governments limited rights to impose taxes, was passed in 2002.
其後又有台北縣、宜蘭縣、南投縣多處鄉鎮跟進，雖然都未能闖關成功，但「開徵地方稅」的怒吼已無法壓制，終於在 2002 年「地方稅法通則」通過實施，授予地方政府「創稅」的權限。
