Different everyday word The two terms share no characters at all. In Taiwan the standard term is 總匯; on the Mainland it is 公司三明治 - both point at “club sandwich”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 總匯、公司三明治 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
Pair source: CC-CEDICT, which tags the Taiwan form as Taiwan usage.
