Tax Regulation

Taxation is one of the most effective instruments of governmental regulation during periods of economic crises and social instability. Tax regulation is an important mean of indirect state influence state on different aspects of social and economic development and taxpayers’ activities and can act as a stimulating and restraining influence on insurance activity through taxation of its financial results. The effectiveness of such influence is indirectly, through positive or negative changes in the performance of insurance activity indicators. The vector of change of these indicators should correspond to the direction of tax regulation and correlate with the corresponding indicators of the tax payments amounts. The multidimensional impact of taxes on the results of insurance activities in a dynamic social, economic and institutional environment in Ukraine necessitates the continual updating of analytical researches on the effectiveness of tax regulation in order to enhance its stimulating effect on the insurance sector. The subject of the study is a set of indicators that characterize the impact of tax regulation on insurance activity in Ukraine through the mechanism of income taxation of its financial results. The aim of the study is to analyze the current state of tax regulation of insurance activity and update its perspectives in Ukraine. Methods of observation, analysis, comparison and logical generalization were used in the study. Financial indicators that characterize the effectiveness of insurance companies as well as tax liabilities on corporate income tax in terms of types of insurance activities are analyzed in the study. Also the analysis of macroeconomic indicators that characterize the tax burden on insurers on corporate income tax and theirs share in the corresponding revenues to the budget is conducted. On the basis of the correlation of the identified trends in the insurance activities and their taxation at the micro and macro levels, the regulatory impact of income taxation on insurance activities is assessed. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that there is no clear correlation between the indicators characterizing the payment of taxes by insurance companies and the financial indicators of their activities, which is explained by complicated, ambiguous and volatile mechanism of calculation of this tax. At the moment the actual mechanism of tax regulation can not be called effective either in the stimulus or in the fiscal aspect. However, the decision to cancel this mechanism should be based on systematic and long-term analytical observations. Taking into account the results of the study, an important direction for further research on the issues of tax regulation of insurance activities is the justification of such a mechanism of insurers’ taxation, which will ensure the combination of adequate tax burden with the maximization of their financial results. The improvement of this mechanism should take place in terms of general stimulation of insurance activity and insurance investments as well as an increase in counteraction to the outflow of insurance capital in the offshore. The results of the study can be used in drafting amendments and additions to the Ukraine's legislation regulating insurance activity and the procedure for its taxation as well as in preparation government programs for  the insurance market development.

Company Limited

In the pre-reform era, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI) dominated the Indian life insurance market with a market share close to 100 percent. But the situation drastically changed since the enactment of the IRDA Act in 1999. At the end of the FY 2012-13, the market share of LICI stood at around 73 percent with the number of players having risen to 24 in the countrys life insurance sector. One of the reasons for such a decline in the market share of LICI during the post-reform period could be attributed to the increasing competition prevailing in the countrys life insurance sector. At the same time, the liberalization of the life insurance sector for private participation has eventually raised issues about ensuring sound financial performance and solvency of the life insurance companies besides protection of the interest of policyholders. The present study is an attempt to evaluate and compare the financial performances, solvency, and the market concentration of the four leading life insurers in India namely the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LICI), ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Company Limited (ICICI PruLife), HDFC Standard Life Insurance Company Limited (HDFC Standard), and SBI Life Insurance Company Limited (SBI Life), over a span of five successive FYs 2008-09 to 2012-13. In this regard, the CARAMELS model has been used to evaluate the performances of the selected life insurers, based on the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) as published by IMF. In addition to this, the Solvency and the Market Concentration Analyses were also presented for the selected life insurers for the given period. The present study revealed the preexisting dominance of LICI even after 15 years since the privatization of the countrys life insurance sector.

This paper proposed three robust estimators (M-estimation, S-estimation, and MM-estimation) for handling the problem of outlier values in seemingly unrelated regression equations (SURE) models. The SURE model is one of regression multivariate cases, which have especially assumption, i.e., correlation between errors on the multivariate linear models; by considering multiple regression equations that are linked by contemporaneously correlated disturbances. Moreover, the effects of outliers may permeate through the system of equations; the primary aim of SURE which is to achieve efficiency in estimation, but this is questionable. The goal of robust regression is to develop methods that are resistant to the possibility that one or several unknown outliers may occur anywhere in the data. In this paper, we study and compare the performance of robust estimations with the traditional non-robust (ordinary least squares and Zellner) estimations based on a real dataset of the Egyptian insurance market during the financial year from 1999 to 2018. In our study, we selected the three most important insurance companies in Egypt operating in the same field of insurance activity (personal and property insurance). The effect of some important indicators (exogenous variables) issued by insurance corporations on the net profit has been studied. The results showed that robust estimators greatly improved the efficiency of the SURE estimation, and the best robust estimation is MM-estimation. Moreover, the selected exogenous variables in our study have a significant effect on the net profit in the Egyptian insurance market.

Abstract Insurance companies are facing major challenges that point to the need for control process and risk management. Risk management in insurance has a direct impact on solvency, economic security, and overall financial stability of insurance companies. It is very important for insurance companies to adequately calculate risks to which they are exposed. Asset liability management (ALM), as an integrated approach to financial management, requires simultaneous decision-making about categories and values of assets and liabilities in order to establish the optimum volume and the ratio of assets and liabilities, with the understanding of complexity of the financial market in which financial institutions operate. ALM focuses on a significant number of risks, whereby the emphasis in this paper will be on interest rate risk which indicates potential losses that may reflect in a lower interest margin, a lower value of assets or both, in terms of changes in interest rates. In the above context, the aim of this paper is to show how to protect from interest rate changes and how these changes influence the insurance market in Montenegro, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view. The authors consider this to be an interesting and very important topic, especially because the life insurance market in Montenegro is underdeveloped and subject to fluctuations. Also, taking into account the fact that Montenegro is a country that has been making serious efforts to join the EU, it is expected that insurance companies in Montenegro will strengthen their financial position in the market even using the ALM traditional techniques, which is shown in this paper.
