Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005 Explanatory Notes

Section 743: Policies for the benefit of others who contribute to premiums

2832.This section provides that where one person takes out a health or employment insurance policy for the benefit of another, that other person may, in certain circumstances, be treated as the insured. It is based on section 580A of ICTA.

2833.Section 580A(7) of ICTA is drafted in terms of the benefits under the policy being apportioned. This section is drafted instead in terms of annual payments in order to be consistent with the other sections dealing with this exemption. This does not alter the effect of the provision.
