New income tax rules for life insurance will be implemented on January 1, 2017, which will affect permanent life insurance policies and annuities. These new rules will have a big effect on corporately owned policies and capital dividend accounts. Insurance policies issued before the changes take effect will have grandfathering provisions. Changes to the taxation of life insurance will include:... - The tax deferral advantage of permanent insurance will still be available, but the tax-deferred amount will be lower - There will be changes in the tax deductible amount of life insurance assigned as collateral by business owners - The amount that can be paid tax free through a corporation to shareholders will decrease - The taxable portion of personally owned life annuities will change, in most cases making it more advantageous to purchase them now.
