Life insurance: taxation and transfer of wealth

The taxation of a life insurance policy depends heavily on your country of residence and the applicable framework; you should therefore be cautious about any generalisation.

Two key moments

  • During the life of the contract: the treatment of surrenders/withdrawals depends on the rules of your country of residence.
  • On transfer: the capital paid to beneficiaries follows the applicable inheritance and tax rules.
No single rule

There is no tax answer that applies to everyone. The outcome depends on your residence, your relationship to the beneficiaries and the legislation in force. These aspects should be confirmed with a qualified professional.
