Insurance Premium
Tax (IPT)
IPT is a breeze with the ARKK
Automation Platform.
Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) is a tax applied to insurance premiums because they are exempt from VAT. Introduced in 1993, IPT ensures the insurance sector contributes its fair share. The tax rate varies by country, and insurers are responsible for collecting and paying it to the appropriate tax authority.

Does it affect me?
If you’re an insurer, broker, or policyholder, IPT may apply to your insurance transactions. The country where the risk is located determines which tax rules apply, so it’s important to ensure compliance with local regulations.
What do I need to do?
Insurers must charge, collect, and report IPT correctly. In some jurisdictions, brokers or policyholders may also need to register or appoint a fiscal representative. Understanding your obligations is key to avoiding compliance issues.
What's the deadline?
IPT deadlines vary by country. Some require monthly filings (e.g., Germany, France), others operate quarterly (e.g., UK, Ireland), and some only require annual submissions (e.g., Italy, Austria). Staying on top of deadlines ensures smooth compliance and avoids penalties.
