Relevant Life Policy Video
Video By Scottish Provident 20/01/2012
Scottish Provident are one of the main Relevant Life Policy providers. The other four are Bright Grey, Legal and General, Pru Protect (Prudential) and Zurich. As a relevant life insurance policy specialist we have excellent knowledge of these providers and know when to use one company instead of the another.
Why a Relevant Life Policy?
Relevant Life Policies are Tax Efficient. The life insurance premiums are paid for by the company and normally classed as a business expense these policies are very tax efficient. Use our Savings Calculator to see what you will save compared to a conventional life insurance policy. If a normal life insurance policy was paid for by the company then this would be treated as a benefit in kind or P11D. However the relevant life insurance cover gets around this.
Company Director Life Insurance Many Company Directors are either paying their personal life insurance premiums through their company and getting a benefit in kind P11D penalty or paying their life insurance from personal income that has already had National Insurance and Tax deducted. For many clients we have replaced their existing policies with the more tax efficient relevant life policy.
Relevant Life Policy Trusts Each of the providers have their own trust forms. Normally when a policy is written on the life of another, such as the company on the employer, if a claim is made the company would get the proceeds. However the simple relevant life policy trusts ensure the sum assured is paid tax free to the policyholders family or nominated beneficiaries.
Small Group Death in Service Life Insurance Smaller companies with fewer than 10 or 15 employees could not previously have a death in service life insurance scheme. The reason is because most insurers need to at least 10 or typically more employees before the would offer a group life scheme. This meant that small limited companies like husband and wife limited companies were excluded. The relevant life policy plugs this gap and offer death in service not only to directors but also employees.
Relevant Life Policy Examples
Husband and Wife Limited Company
Most families protect their dependants with some sort of life insurance. Many of those have smaller limited companies. The majority of the husband and wife limited companies pay for their personal life insurance through earned income that has already been subject to tax and national insurance. The others pay for the policy out of the business but until recently the insurance premium was subject to a P11D benefit in kind. The relevant life policy is the ideal way to get around the 2 problems above and can let the company pay for personal life insurance without the P11D benefit.

Contractor through Limited Company
Another scenario of a small business that can benefit from a relevant life policy is a contractor. Many professionals such as IT workers, Construction Workers and Management Consultants contract through their own linited company Again as above these company directors can now benefit from the tax advantages that the relevant life policy provides.
Larger Limited Company Needing Death in Service for Higher Earners
Even for larger companies that have more than 10 employees can benefit. In many instances the company will not want to offer the death in sercice policy to all it's employees. In cases like this just a couple or more of the employees can be offered the policy. This is a great employee benefit and helps retain quality staff by allowing them life insurance through a relevant life policy.
