Insurance Premium Tax
Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) is a tax implemented by several countries which applies the majority of insurance products.
IPT is calculated based on the gross premium. For example, if the gross premium is £1000 and the IPT rate is 10%, the IPT amount will be £100 and the total amount charged to the policyholder will be £1100.
United Kingdom
The current rate of IPT in the UK is 12%.
Channel Islands
Although many UK insurance policies cover the Channel Islands, they do not attract IPT.
