technically, they have no difference. They are all 普通话. However, there does exist one or two differences because of Tanwan accents. I know only one difference: 括（kuo）号. In Taiwan, people pronounce it as "gua" or "kua", instead of "kuo".

The people in Taiwan use " traditional" Chinese which is a little difference between the people in China. Besides,taiwanese speak Chinese without curling tongue.

In Grammar,they are nearly the same.But in accent aspect TaiWai 's spoken is 不分平翘舌音，而mainland's spoken is more standard ,没有TAIWAI 的那种腔调，as long as anybody from Taiwai and say 台湾腔调,we can recognize it and judge he comes from 台湾
