Course Description:

The webinar will provide an introduction of tax principles relevant to the insurance business. The session will start off by exploring salient income tax provisions specific to this industry and highlight direct tax developments which are relevant to the industry. Given that insurance transactions are subject to specific VAT rules, the second part of the session will highlight how VAT for insurance companies differs from general VAT principles, the specific implications stemming from this particular VAT treatment as well as relevant VAT saving solutions in the industry. Finally, the session will have an overview of considerations relating to Insurance Premium Tax (‘IPT’).

Target Audience:

Accountants, lawyers and other professional working in the insurance industry.

Learning Outcomes:

As a result of the session, you should be able to get an overview of the tax considerations (both direct and indirect) for the insurance industry. Participants will have the opportunity to put forth questions both before and during the live session.
