Insurance Premium Tax Increase
Published on the 2nd May 2017

With effect from 1st June 2017 the standard rate of insurance premium tax (IPT) will increase by 2% from 10% to 12% as announced by the Government in December 2016.

Below is how we perceive most insurers will deal with the application of IPT with the issuing of policy documentation:

NEW BUSINESS & RENEWALS

           Policies with inception or renewal date on or before 31st May 2017: Rate of 10% will apply

           Policies with inception or renewal date on or after 1st June 2017: Rate of 12% will apply

MID TERM ADJUSTMENTS

Additional Premiums

           Policies with inception or renewal date prior to 1st June 2017: Rate of 10% will apply

           Policies with inception or renewal date on or after 1st June 2017: Rate of 12% will apply

However from 1st June 2018 we would expect everything to be charged at 12% if not before

EXCEPTIONS

           Travel Insurance option continues at 20%

           Exempt policies such as those for risks in Channel Islands

â–ª           Certain Aviation Risks
