If can pay the tax, he had already done so. Anybody know which insurer company have it? It was advise by the iras officer, and he say other people also doing the same and it can be obtained within a day.

insurance bond /banker guarantee is not sold by Insurance co.

go to your banker, they will ask u to pledge the same amount in cash + their commission.

if IRAS ask for S$50k, then put S$50k in the bank.

there is a letter to be issued by the bank, but IRAS must agree the term & condition.

get the draft copy from bank and send to IRAS to confirm their acceptance.

the T&C would include how this bond will be discharged eg upon his return, and validity of the bond (this bond cannot go on forever, if IRAS will no action within X days, the bond should discharge itself), etc.

talk to Commercial section of your bank.

if he don't return, the bank will forward the $ to IRAS automatically, the bond also considered discharged. (ie the bank's job is done).
