As a business owner, securing life insurance through your company can provide numerous benefits, including tax efficiency, asset protection, and valuable employee benefits. By working with Xwills.com, you can seamlessly integrate your life insurance policies into your comprehensive estate plan, ensuring that your wishes are carried out and your loved ones are protected.
Xwills.com partners with FCA-registered providers to offer specialised relevant life insurance products designed for small businesses. These policies provide tax-efficient life insurance coverage for directors and key employees, allowing your business to offer attractive benefits while minimising tax liabilities.
By leveraging relevant life corporation tax relief, your business can deduct premiums paid for relevant life insurance as allowable expenses, reducing your overall tax liability. This tax-efficient approach benefits both employers and employees, providing comprehensive coverage while ensuring substantial savings.
Consider a small business with an annual profit of £50,000. By paying £1,000 in relevant life insurance premiums for a key employee, the business can deduct this expense from its taxable profits, potentially saving £190 in corporation tax (assuming a 19% tax rate). Additionally, the employee benefits from the life insurance coverage without incurring any income tax or National Insurance contributions.
When creating your will with Xwills.com, it’s essential to consider how your life insurance policies will be integrated into your estate plan. By specifying the details of your life insurance policies within your will, you can ensure that your intentions regarding the distribution of the proceeds are clearly outlined.
To further protect your loved ones and streamline the distribution of your life insurance benefits, Xwills.com recommends establishing a separate life insurance trust. By placing your life insurance policy in a trust, you can potentially expedite payouts, minimise tax burdens, and maintain control over the distribution of funds.
In addition to integrating life insurance into your will, Xwills.com offers a wide range of estate planning services to safeguard your assets and legacy. From drafting wills and trusts to providing guidance on inheritance tax planning, our experienced team is dedicated to helping you achieve your estate planning goals.
