Hello,
I am a Singapore PR (became one early 2011). Subsequently , unplanned business trips, sometimes very long ones happened that accrued to a whopping 200+ days out of Singapore (Calculated based on air ticket itineraries).
so the question is:
1. Am I eligible to pay a tax of 15% gross or not?
2. Is there a certificate that the company can provide that justifies the business travel outside of SG?
3. as a PR do I get exempted?
I did a bit of search on this subject on the iras website and the only useful piece of information - applicable to my case that I found is this - http://www.iras.gov.sg/irasHome/page04.aspx?id=6140 (if you are here for three consecutive years)
Help and inputs needed

If you are on business trips that are "incidental to your employment in Singapore" (or some similar wording), the pay you receive for it is taxable in Singapore (regardless of where and how it's paid).
If you are seconded abroad, salary for that is not taxable in Singapore.
I think a PR (which stands for "Permanent RESIDENT") is always taxed at resident rates even if in the country below 183 days, but you can ask IRAS to be sure.
Unless you are a very high earner, resident rates are more favourable than the 15%.
