Exemption from VAT on insurance, reinsurance and services provided by insurance brokers and intermediaries is a particular legal and fiscal area, requiring a rigorous analysis of the legal and regulatory regimes in force.
Our law firm, specialized in the fields of application of Value Added Tax (VAT), facilitates the management of this exemption through an in-depth analysis of your insurance contracts, compliance with tax complexities, the management of possible disputes by avoiding upstream errors, and access to strategic advice to maximize your tax advantages in terms of VAT and payroll tax.
In 2022, the tax authorities published in BOFIP an update of the concept of insurance transaction but also of the very definition of insurance and reinsurance service providers, in particular for brokers and case or claim managers. These clarifications were intended to bring French legislation on VAT exemptions for insurance transactions into line with European case law.
From now on, VAT exemption is linked to the nature of the service, to the content of the transactions carried out and not to the regulatory qualification of insurance professionals. For businesses, this is a breakthrough: the concept of “services relating to insurance and reinsurance transactions” is quite broad. Under certain conditions, the exemption can therefore also cover ancillary services, such as the management of policies and their cancellation, the assessment of damages, the drafting of contracts, the affiliation of new beneficiaries, the issuance of contracts, etc.
However, for others, it can be a cold shower: some back-office activities (management for example) carried out by insurance and reinsurance service providers have become taxable for VAT. This is also the case for the re-invoicing of the share of insurance premiums for a company to its subsidiaries, etc.: a good number of transactions in this field are taxable.
If, by nature, insurance for a business is exempt from VAT, the reality may seem more complex. In addition, it should be noted that the exemption may involve fiscal costs: non-deduction of VAT, payroll tax,... These are elements to be anticipated.
Our law firm wanted to specialize in the arcana of VAT, and in particular possible exemptions in terms of insurance, in order to offer effective assistance.
Unlike general tax law firms, our expertise is targeted to provide excellent service and immediate efficiency.

However, when invoices, receipts or slips are received, a VAT line may appear concerning either back-office transactions or services that do not have a direct link with insurance per se. Assignments of insurance and reinsurance contracts, re-invoicing of a share of insurance premiums for a company to its subsidiaries, etc.: a good number of transactions in this field are taxable.
