This measure will apply to insurers who experience financial distress and have their liabilities written down by a court, and individuals who hold annuities provided by insurers who experience financial distress. These tax changes will support insurers in financial distress by averting the tax implications for both insurers and policyholders, and will ensure they do not face a tax disadvantage.
