We encourage you to remit in Singapore currency in order to avoid not settling the liability in full due to differences in exchange of the foreign currency.
There will be a bank processing fee and other agent bank charges imposed when you make a Telegraphic Transfer. To ensure that the full amount of tax payable is remitted to IRAS, please instruct your bank that "Telegraphic Transfer / other agent bank charges to be borne by the applicant" instead of the beneficiary. Otherwise, the amount remitted may not be sufficient to cover your outstanding tax liability in full. Enforcement actions may be taken to recover any outstanding tax.
Depending on the currency, country and the agent bank used, payment might be received by IRAS within 10 - 21 working days. Your payment will be posted into the tax account within five working days once we have received the payment and the Notification Funds Transfer form.
