Tax Relief for Insurers: Extended Capital Loss Carryovers.
This act modifies tax rules for insurance companies, primarily to ease their capital loss management. This could indirectly enhance the stability of the insurance market. For citizens, it means potentially greater stability for the insurance companies they deal with.
Key points
Certain debts held by insurance companies will no longer be treated as capital assets, simplifying their tax accounting.
Insurance companies can carry over capital losses for 10 years instead of 5, improving their financial flexibility.
These changes apply to specific insurance companies and take effect from 2026.
