Indirect Tax for Financial Services |
Insurance and reinsurance transactions, including related services performed by insurance brokers and agents, are exempt from value added tax (VAT) in the European Union. However, the European Court of Justice recently ruled that this exemption does not apply to a transfer, for consideration, of a portfolio of insurance contracts. As a result of this decision, insurance companies that plan to transfer insurance contracts to or from European entities should carefully consider the VAT consequences of those transactions.
