This Directive clarifies when Services connected with a life insurance or life reinsurance contract form part of the Exempt Supply of life insurance for Value Added Tax purposes. Such Services are treated as part of the exempt supply where they are necessary for making the supply, are directly connected with the provision or transfer of ownership of the contract, and the Consideration payable for them forms an integral part of the total Consideration payable under the contract, in accordance with Article 42 of the VAT Executive Regulation. The exemption applies only where the related fees and charges are included within the insurance premium and no separate Consideration is charged. Qualifying fees include those related to the management, operation or execution of the contract, while Services that are independent in nature or separately charged are treated as independent supplies. The determination is based on the facts and circumstances of each case under the VAT Law and its Executive Regulation.
