The 60-second version
Guam exit needs employer tax certificate and DRT compliance letter. I export social security statements, close USD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for Andersen AFB and hospitality payroll.
DRT clearance before closing Hagåtña payroll account
Guam taxes residents on employment income plus 4% Gross Receipts Tax on business — obtain salary reconciliation and DRT clearance before departure.
Military contractor, tourism, and healthcare payroll common — retain employer settlement; territory uses USD.
