TPG2022 Chapter X paragraph 10.211

« | »

Part IV of the Report on the Attribution of Profits to Permanent Establishments describes the activities that form part of the underwriting function such as setting the underwriting policies, classifying and selecting the insured risk, setting the premiums (pricing), the analysis of risk retention and the acceptance of the insured risk. These activities would imply, inter alia, deciding to underwrite a risk or not and under what terms and conditions, or whether reinsurance protection should be purchased or not. On prevailing facts and circumstances, those activities may be considered as control functions as described in paragraph 1.65 of Chapter I and, if exercised by a captive insurance that possesses the financial capacity to assume the risk, would lead to the allocation of risk to the captive insurance under Chapter I analysis. Notably, the mere setting of parameters or the policy environment for the risk would not qualify as control functions for this purpose (see paragraph 1.66 of Chapter I, and paragraph 94 of Part IV of the Report on the Attribution of Profits to Permanent Establishments).
