Executive Income Protection

Executive income protection is a product designed to replace the income of key individuals if they are unable to work through sickness or accident.

It allows an employer to offer extended sick-pay arrangements to valuable employees. Premiums are often tax-deductible and do not count as a benefit in kind (P11D).

Executive plans offer higher cover than personal plans – in some cases as high as 80% of the employees remuneration, which means they should always be considered for directors and business owners.

Executive Income Protection

Unlike a standard Income Protection policy, an Executive Income Protection plan has additional benefits.

It can be paid for by your business, which could make it a tax deductible expense, and it is not considered a benefit-in-kind.

Income from the plan is paid back to the company, and it can then be paid out to you, subject to tax, to replace your income.

Benefits of Executive Income Protection

Ordinary income protection policies typically cover up to 50% of salary, but an executive income protection plan can do so much more.

With some insurers cover can reach 80% of gross remuneration (this includes salary and dividends), the premiums do not count as a benefit in kind so there is no additional tax to pay for the person covered, and the business can use the cost as an allowable expense.

All of this makes an executive income protection plan a very efficient way for business owners and directors to ensure they can get the best cover possible.

Could Executive Income Protection be right for you?

Cover up to 80% of your remuneration

Executive income protection plans allow for higher levels of cover than a personal plan.

As an owner or director your earnings are likely to be higher than average, which makes this increased benefit very valuable.

Not a benefit in kind (P11D)

Even though the premiums can be paid by your company this does not count as a benefit in kind, which means you don’t need to record these expenses for your personal tax return.

Tax-deductible for your business

Your business is allowed to deduct the cost of your premiums as an allowable expense.

The right insurance product should be as effective and as tax-efficient as possible.
