The 60-second version
Solomon Islands exit needs employer tax certificate and IRD compliance letter. I export NPF statements, close SBD account, wire to NRE, and map RNOR for logging and fisheries payroll.
IRD clearance before closing Honiara payroll account
Solomon Islands taxes residents on employment and business income — obtain salary tax reconciliation and TIN clearance from IRD before departure.
Logging, fisheries, and mining payroll common in Honiara — retain employer settlement; wire before losing ANZ or BSP relationship.
