What is Tax-efficient Relevant Life Insurance?
A Relevant Life Plan offers some very special advantages to directors and employees of small limited companies, most notably tax efficiency.
Whilst the cover is personal to you and your employees, the policy premiums are paid by the business and are classed as a business expense so it’s tax deductible and does not count towards annual or lifetime pension allowances.
Any Limited Company in any industry would qualify as long as you or your employees take an income in the form of PAYE and/or dividend.
The only difference between a personal life insurance policy and a Relevant Life Policy – is that the Limited Company pays the premiums. It provides you or your employees a cash lump sum paid on death or diagnosis of a terminal illness to you / your family.
Put simply, Relevant Life Insurance moves the cost of your life insurance policy from your pocket to your company expenses & the taxman - saving you money.
Can I Get Relevant Life Insurance?
Relevant life insurance is designed to provide cost saving life cover for:
-
Company directors / contractors working through their own limited companies
-
Small businesses who want to provide life cover whether for an employee or director.
-
Higher-earning employees with substantial pension funds who do not want their Death in Service benefits to form part of their lifetime allowance.

“Ash was a pleasure to work with and helped me to understand the complex options involved in various aspects of my insurance. He also helped me save a fair amount of money by moving some outgoings from personal to business ones which also reduced my tax as well. Would highly recommend.”
