Increasing demand for international services

Increasing globalisation is fundamentally changing the business landscape – and with change comes new challenges for international risk management.

     New exposures from vertical and horizontal integration and accelerated supply chains Global interdependencies between suppliers and customers, as well as with business partners Increased regulation creates additional need for transparency and corporate governance Mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures – often with diverse cultures    Multinational legal and fiscal environments Increased international trade in emerging markets – increasing exposures and the potential for international litigation Pressure to improve efficiency and effectiveness of risk management, especially on a globally coordinated basis New risks emerging from mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures

Never before has there been a greater need for integrated risk management – globally coordinated and managed, but locally delivered…..

Regulations and Compliance The Question of „Admitted“ versus “Non-Admitted“

•Local insurance law (more than 200 different laws) mandates that a policy is issued or coverage provided with an insurer licensed in the country where the risk is located.

Admitted:

An admitted policy is a policy issued or coverage provided by an insurer to a policyholder domiciled in a territory where that insurer is licensed

.

Non-Admitted:

A Non Admitted policy is a policy issued or coverage provided by an insurer to a policyholder domiciled in a territory where that insurer is not licensed.

Exceptions:

Self procurement, prior approval by host state regulator, broker licensed etc. International Insurance Solutions © Copyright Allianz Global Corporate & Speciality 28-Apr-20 8

Your questions on legal aspects of international insurance program answered I/II

What does admitted and non-admitted insurance mean?

M

any countries have regulations in place requiring that insurance be taken out with insurance companies that are licensed

(admitted)

to write direct insurance business in the country. In those countries the provision of cross-border insurance on a direct basis

(non admitted)

is prohibited or subject to conditions.

How do IIP respond to this?

A

s part of an international insurance program, local policies are issued related to the risk and exposure as well as capacity and cover available in the market, which are respecting local regulatory aspects. Our extensive global network allows us to issue admitted local policies in countries where your risks are located.

Why does Difference in Conditions / Limits (DIC/DIL) matter?

D

epending on the capacity and coverage of markets and the agreed structure of the international insurance program, it can be more efficient to provide additional coverage and/or limits through the master policy complementing the local policies. DIC/DIL is subject to cross border insurance provisions described above.

How can AGCS help you?

W

here permitted the foreign subsidiaries of the parent company can be included as additional insureds in the master policy. The DIC/DIL provision describes the additional coverage provided above local policies. The parent company is the policyholder of the master policy and receives the loss payment.

Your questions on legal aspects of international insurance program answered II/II

Why does Insurance Premium Taxes (IPT) matter?

I

n countries where IPT exists, the tax laws regulate the amount and calculation base for insurance premium taxes, levies and fees (parafiscal charges to IPT) that are charged in relation to the insurance premium.

How can AGCS help you?

O

ur extensive global network allows us to issue admitted local policies that take care of the local IPT requirements and the handling of the IPT and its parafiscal charges (to collect and transfer to the tax office). Within our international insurance program’s premium allocation is related to local risk and exposure.

Why does transfer pricing matter?

T

ransfer pricing regulations should be considered if the parent company centrally purchases insurance coverage on behalf of its subsidiaries but pays premiums centrally. The customer should ensure that the group internal allocation of premiums and claims payments complies with the arm’s length standard to avoid double taxation.

How can AGCS help you?

T

he parent company must consult with its accounting, tax and finance specialists and analyse its needs and obligations. Once the client has performed the analysis, we consider those aspects in structuring the international insurance program.
