Cancelling PR
Go down to SiR/ICA and inform the information counter that you want to cancel your PR. Be sure to take your passport, IC and the entry permit. They will take you into an interview room. Don’t worry, no one will interview you. A pleasant officer will ask you if you had any dependant PRs (no). She will inform that once PR is cancelled, a social visit visa will be issued for a month and that will help you finish off all work and leave Singapore. She will take back your IC and entry permit and cancel the re-entry permt. Then she will stamp a 1 month social visit from that day and give you one half of the disembarkation form/card. She will also give you a letter stating that ICA has accepted your PR cancellation request and that you have returned the IC as well as the entry permit. Keep this letter safely.
To the CPF board
Take the letter you got from ICA and go down to the CPF board. They will use this letter to close your CPF account. For quicker processing, pass them a bank account number in Singapore to remit your CPF amount. If I am not mistaken, they can also provide demand drafts (issued in your name only) etc. and send it to your permanent address overseas, if you cant wait in Singapore for the money to arrive in the bank. Bring along some document showing that you indeed have that account. One of the month’s statement of account will do. Else you will be asked to sign an indemption form. They will need about 10 working days ( i.e excluding Sunday and public holidays) to get the money into your account. I got the amount in my DBS account on the 9th day. If your employer has to pay any more CPF money to you, they will give you a letter instructing your company that you have closed your CPF account and that any amount (employer or employee contribution) still due to you should be paid to you directly. Take this letter and pass it to your company. They should then be able to give you the money directly. They will have to fill up the reverse section of that letter and send it back to CPF board.
The IRAS
Go down to IRAS and get an IR21 form. This form is to be filled when someone is permanently leaving Singapore and the taxes have to be settled. Get the company to fill it for you and return it to IRAS. Companies that use e-filing can fill the IR21 form online. Ask your employer if this can be done, so that you don’t have to run to IRAS twice. IRAS will then compute the tax that you should be paying. Pay it. Note that the CPF board will ask IRAS for an “OK” with respect to your taxes before they credit the CPF money to you. If you have not filled in the IR21 form and not filed your taxes, IRAS will not give the green light to CPF board. If you are rushing (as I was), do let the IRAS officer know your emergency. They may help you by expediting the process. Ofcourse for this, e-filing will not work. Person-to-person contact works wonders in these cases. They took about 5 working days in my case.
That should cover everything that you will need to do in a normal case when dealing with ICA, IRAS and CPF board.

刚才打了电话,
等了很久终于找到一个官员.
我的问题是:
我是一个正在这里工作的PR,
如果有一天我永久离开新加坡,
并取消了我的永久居民身份.
我是否可以免税带走我所有的CPF储蓄?
我理解我仍然必须交纳离开新加坡当年的个人所得税.
但是我, 比如说,
过去10年我放在CPF所有户头中的30万元,
是不是乐意免税随我带走?
那官员重复了一遍我的问题,
叫我等一会儿, 约5分钟后, 回来告诉我:
你可以将所有CPF一次免税带走. 我又问:
这是你们的政策吗? 他说:是.
但是当年的所得税你还是要交纳的.
我回答说, 那当然.

税务局大厅里就有牌子上专门列有取消PR的柜台
拿了票等一会就会被叫进去.
等他们把你该交纳的税算好之后, 会给你信,
最好先打电话约
只要约好时间,
到当地离你最近的新加坡领事馆,
在总领事面前签一个宣誓书和委托书,
几周之后CPF就会把新元支票寄给你.

这。。。
一般情况下很少有人连PR 都不要了吧。
留着没啥坏处…
不太可能不交税带走cpf 的... 因为想当年你的cpf 还帮你少交税了..
有些人自愿填补的cpf , 当你到达年龄可以取出的时候也是要交税的,只是通常退休的年龄没有别的收入了,所以一年算下来不超过20k , 实际上不用交税...
你想不交税拿走cpf 里面所有的钱, 我才不相信税务局这么笨.... 除非cpf 里面的钱很少....
要不就是税务局会重新算过你以前用cpf减少税金的每个的纳税年, 补好了再走... 这才是税务局的作风...
我觉得楼上分析有理。。。
还是让事实讲话的好
相信楼主的信息是正确的
