Circulars

Members will be aware that for a number of years the Association has met the costs of Insurance Premium Tax (“IPT”) and other parafiscal taxes for certain Members by reason of regulatory changes that affected the Association in 2008. These changes mainly affected certain EU based Members. The decision to continue to meet this cost is one that has been reviewed annually as outlined in circular 2011/4 in November, 2011.

Members will be aware that one of the factors taken into consideration in determining the extent of the Association’s support is the “reasonableness of a Member’s conduct.” As part of this review the Directors will consider the extent of pre-fixture enquiries that have been made by the Member prior to entering into a contract which forms the basis of the dispute. 

We enclose the Association's Rule Book for the 2012/13 policy year. The Rules take effect from 20th February, 2012.
