Are you a company director with life assurance to provide for your loved ones?
Taking out a Relevant Life Policy could be a tax-efficient way of providing life cover where the number of employees is too low for a group death in service scheme.
Most people pay their life insurance premiums from their post-tax income if you have a limited company – Don’t!
You can use a Relevant Life Policy to make substantial tax savings instead!
It works like this:
- Your company pays the premiums for you
- Premiums are an allowable business expense to offset against corporation tax
- Premiums are not treated as a benefit in kind – so no tax for you personally
- You can insure up to 25x your total remuneration including dividends
In Brief:
- Reduce your costs using this tax-efficient method for arranging your life insurance
- Substantial tax savings, especially for higher ratepayers
- Relevant Life Policies are written in trust for your chosen beneficiaries. This allows quick payment of benefits normally free from inheritance tax.
- Benefits are also payable free from Income Tax.
