What the stamp-duty GIRO form authorises
This scanned one-page form authorises IRAS instructions to debit tax payments and credit refunds through the stated bank account. Complete taxpayer/company name, tax reference UEN/NRIC/FIN, SD Account ID, contact number and email. Select the applicant category: licensed real estate, accounting/secretarial, law firm or others. Required fields are marked with a caret. It is a bank mandate, not a calculation or confirmation of stamp-duty liability.
Bank identity and signatures
Provide the account-holder name exactly as in bank records, bank name and account number; sign/thumbprint or apply company stamp as bank records require. Thumbprints must be verified at the bank. Countersign every amendment and do not use correction fluid/tape. Leave IRAS Part 2 and bank Part 3 to those parties. The originating account printed in Part 2 is expressly not to be used for fund transfers to IRAS.
Payment risk, validity and submission
The bank can reject debit for insufficient funds and charge a fee, or allow an overdraft and impose charges at its discretion. Authority continues until bank written termination to the last-known address or receipt of revocation through IRAS. The source instructs mailing the completed form to IRAS, 55 Newton Road, Revenue House, Singapore 307987; approval notification follows bank approval. Rejection reasons include mismatched/incomplete signatures or thumbprints, unsigned amendments, wrong account number and other bank reasons.
