Finance Act 2009

Background Note

6.Equalisation reserves are created by general insurers to cover claims they may be called upon to pay that arise from classes of business, for example property damage, that can give rise to intermittent but sometimes very large payments.

7.General insurance companies are required by the FSA to make these reserves under legislative rules designed to protect their capital base. When these rules were introduced, the equivalent rules governing the Lloyd’s insurance market were very different, and even now the unique structure of the Lloyd’s insurance market results in capital maintenance rules significantly different from those of general insurance companies.

8.However, over the years there has been convergence, and the availability of relief to general insurance companies but not to corporate and partnership members of Lloyd’s has increasingly been seen as anomalous and a disadvantage to the Lloyd’s market.

9.The section provides for a relief to corporate and partnership members of Lloyd’s broadly similar to that available to general insurance companies for amounts reflected in equalisation reserves.

Nodiadau Esboniadol

Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
