Insurance can play an important role in tax & estate planning for both individuals and corporations. For example, as an individual, life insurance can ensure the retention of your net estate value by creating a fund that can be used to pay taxes owing at death. This strategy involves estimating your final tax bill, and redirecting money that you do not require for living or lifestyle expenses to an insurance contract. The insurance then replaces the value of your estate you lose in taxes, greatly reducing the overall tax burden on your estate and your heirs. On a corporate level, insurance can be used in a variety of strategies to protect and transfer assets, reduce taxation, replace key employees, fund shareholder agreements and transfer ownership of a business.
