If you are a company director, you may want to consider a more cost effective way of paying for your life assurance arrangements.
Did you know that arranging life cover for yourself can be treated as a legitimate business arrangement and, with your company paying the premiums, there is also the potential of reducing your company’s Corporation Tax liability?
A policy can be taken out and paid for by your business and put in trust for your dependants or desired beneficiaries. The results being:
- a lump sum paid to your chosen beneficiaries in the same way a personal policy would work
but with,
- no National Insurance liability,
- no benefit-in-kind liability,
- the likelihood of these payments being classed as allowable deductions for your business, which may help to reduce any potential Corporation Tax liability and,
- the payments not counting towards an individual’s lifetime or annual allowances.
Please remember tax law may change in the future and will depend on your individual circumstances.
