Hey, I'm just wondering about this 20% tax deduction. Is it for real, or is there a way around it?

20% is a large chunk out of the pocket. I NEEDS TO MAKE MONEY!!!

Would an employer overlook this if I asked them to, or is there some way I can avoid this? What kind of trouble could I get into if I didn't pay it?

If you are legal you get to pay, deducted from your salary. If you're illegal you don't.

Like all things in Taiwan taxes are even negotiable.The tax department doesn't care so long as the paperwork looks good. If there is a discrepency you will have some trouble but the tax office usually takes it up with your boss.
Good luck.

The boss, not wanting lose money, will in turn take it up with you, at which point you can either cough up or leave the country / county / area for good losing your last few weeks pay.
