Registration Statement on Form F-1
Filed September 1, 2023
File No. 333-274326
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the letter dated
September 12, 2023 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Linkage Global Inc (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of
reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. An Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form F-1 (the “Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
Registration Statement on Form F-1
Since we are a “controlled company”
within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules . . ., page 32
1.
We note your disclosure on the cover page as well as page 14 that upon the completion of the offering, the controlling shareholders “will beneficially own approximately 66.51% of the aggregate voting power” of your issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Please revise your disclosure here to identify the percentage of voting power to be held by the controlling shareholders following the offering. Additionally, please disclose, if true, that the controlling shareholders will have the ability to determine all matters requiring approval by stockholders in the event that you rely on the controlled company exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised our disclosure on page 32 of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to identify the percentage of voting power
to be held by the controlling shareholders following the offering. Additionally, we revised the cover page, page 15 and page 32 of Amendment
No. 1 to the Registration Statement to disclose that, following the completion of this offering, the controlling shareholders will have
the ability to determine any matter required to be passed by an ordinary resolution, which will be adopted when approved by a simple majority
of votes cast by the shareholders of the Company, and that our controlling shareholders will have the ability to at least significantly
influence, or in certain cases, control the outcome of a matter required to be passed by a special resolution, which will be adopted when
approved by not less than two-thirds of votes cast by the shareholders of the Company.
Dilution, page 66

Please tell us how you calculated adjusted net tangible book value of $8,413,684 as of March 31, 2023 based on net tangible book value of $4,761,844 and $5,481,170 in net proceeds from the sale of 1,500,000 ordinary shares from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised the disclosure in the dilution section on page 66 of Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement. The adjusted net
tangible book value of $9,090,475 as of March 31, 2023 derives from the net tangible book value of $3,609,305, plus net proceeds of $5,481,170
from the sale of 1,500,000 ordinary shares from this offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.
In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges
that:
●
the Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
●
Staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to Staff comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing; and
●
the Company may not assert Staff comments as a defense in any proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.
We appreciate the assistance the Staff has provided
with its comments. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our counsel, Ying Li, Esq., of Hunter Taubman Fischer &

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement on Form F-1
Submitted August 4, 2023
CIK No. 0001969401
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is in response to the letter dated
August 23, 2023 from the staff (the “Staff”) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
addressed to Linkage Global Inc (the “Company,” “we,” and “our”). For ease of
reference, we have recited the Commission’s comments in this response and numbered them accordingly. A Registration Statement on
Form F-1 (the “Registration Statement”) is being filed to accompany this letter.
Amendment No. 2 to Draft Registration Statement
on Form F-1
Cover Page
1.
We note your response to comment 1 and reissue in part. In this regard, we note your disclosure here as well as on pages 11 and 12 that “[t]here are currently no restrictions on foreign exchange and [y]our ability to transfer cash among [y]our Cayman Islands holding company and [y]our principal subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Japan.” Please revise your disclosure here and elsewhere as appropriate to address whether there are any limitations on your ability to transfer cash to investors.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised our disclosure on the cover page, page 11 and page 12 of the Registration Statement to disclose the restrictions
on our ability to issue dividends or make distributions to investors.

3. Segment Information, page F-16

We note the disclosure you provided in response to comment 15. Please revise this disclosure to include right-of-use assets by geography.
Response: In response to the Staff’s
comment, we revised disclosure on page F-16 of the Registration Statement.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Integrated E-Commerce Services, page F-39
3.
We note the disclosure you revised in response to comment 14. Please tell us how the billing reports received from social media platforms directly correspond with the value transferred to the customers. In this regard, tell us how you consider the revenue adjustments that occur following the reconciliation process during the month following each quarter-end, including the materiality of such adjustments.
Response: We respectfully acknowledge the
Staff’s comment. The Company introduces new Merchants to social media platforms and continuously operates ad accounts on behalf
of Merchants introduced by the Company. The billing reports record the names of Merchants and their corresponding consumption of ads for
each quarter on social media platforms, which directly correspond with the value transferred from the Group to social media platforms.
The Company first books the estimated revenue
based on the billing report received for the preceding quarter, and trues-up the revenue amount based on the billing report for the current
quarter upon receipt in the following quarter. Generally, the Company receives the quarterly billing report within three months after
each quarter end. Since the filing dates of both the audit financial statement and interim financial statement were more than three months
after the fiscal year-end and interim period-end, the revenue as presented in the financial statements were already adjusted based on
the current billing report. The Company assessed that such adjustments is immaterial. The amount of adjustments were less than 1% and
17% of the digital marketing services for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively, and were less than 1% and 3% of the
total revenues for the years ended September 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively.
In responding to your comments, the Company acknowledges
that:
● the
Company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing;
● Staff
