Insurance Premium Tax Rate Change

Insurance Premium Tax Rate Changes from the 1 June 2017

As you are no doubt aware, from the 1^st June 2017 the rate for Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) will increase from 10% to 12%.

What does this mean for Tax Fee Protection Insurance?

If your scheme incepts or renews after the 1^st June 2017 the new rate will apply to all clients who purchase and we will provide you with documentation that reflects this.

If your scheme incepts or renews before the 1^st June 2017, clients who purchase for the full Policy Period will be subject to IPT at the existing 10% rate. However if you have a client who joins the scheme part way through (for a short period) who begins after the 1^st June 2017, IPT will be applicable at the new 12% rate.

So for example, if you scheme Policy Period runs from 1^st January 2017 to 31^st December 2017 and a client wants to join the scheme in May 2017 (through to the 31^st December renewal date) IPT will be applicable at 10%. If however the client joins the scheme in August 2017 (after the 1^st June 2017) IPT will be applicable at 12%.

This will in the main impact ‘client decide’ schemes, but could equally apply to ‘all client’ schemes where you recover premium by writing to your clients.
