Income Tax (Trading and Other Income) Act 2005

Section 533: Meaning of “comparable EEA tax charge”

2098.This section sets out the requirement for the purposes of section 532 that the tax charge applied to the EEA insurer is at least broadly equivalent to that applying to insurers operating in the United Kingdom. This section is based on sections 547 and 553 of ICTA.

2099.The term “insurer” in subsection (1) recognises that the range of bodies issuing policies or contracts in another EEA country may be different from that met in the United Kingdom, and is not necessarily equivalent to an insurance company. And for that reason, the term “insurance company” (which is defined in section 545) has not been used here.
