What are the benefits of a Relevant life policy?
Tax-efficient solution to ensure your staff
A Relevant life policy is a whole life insurance policy, taken out by an employer on the life of an employee, from which both the employer and employee can benefit.
The premiums are paid for by the business, and as the policy is set up under a trust, the benefits are paid out tax-free to the beneficiaries. This makes it an attractive proposition for business owners looking to provide financial protection for their employees while also benefiting from tax breaks.
Great for smaller businesses
Relevant Life Insurance is often seen as being more suitable for small businesses, as they can be set up with relatively low premiums and can be tailored to the specific needs of the business.
What’s more, they offer a flexible way to provide death-in-service benefits to employees, without the need for a group life policy.
Attract and retain talented staff
In today’s competitive job market, offering benefits such as death-in-service cover can help you attract and retain the best talent. Relevant life plans can also be used as a tax-efficient way to reward and incentivise employees.
So, if you’re looking for a way to provide financial protection for your employees, while also benefiting from tax breaks, a relevant life policy could be the perfect solution.
