Navigating the complexities of tax regulations can be daunting, but tax insurance offers a strategic safeguard for your financial peace of mind. Horton’s specialized tax insurance solutions are designed to protect against specific tax positions, ensuring you are covered when it matters most.
Throughout this article, we will lay out the basics of tax insurance, explaining how it can provide clarity, confidence and comprehensive protection for your financial decisions.
Key Features of Tax Insurance
Our tax insurance policies are specifically tailored to cover distinct tax positions, providing clarity and confidence in your financial decisions. Coverage is available for almost any tax issue that can be precisely measured. This ensures transparency and predictability in your insurance needs, allowing you to manage your finances with greater certainty.
Some examples of tax issues covered by our policies include:
- S corporation status
- Availability of tax losses/other attributes
- Debt/equity classification
- Capital gains versus ordinary income classification
- Applicability of transfer taxes
- Permanent establishment risks
- Availability of income tax treaty benefits
- Applicability of withholding taxes
Horton’s tax insurance solutions address both current and historic concerns. Whether you are dealing with current tax issues or those arising from past transactions, our policies offer robust protection. While primarily focused on known issues, our insurance can also extend to certain future risks, offering a comprehensive safety net under specific conditions.
When to Consider Tax Insurance
Tax insurance is crucial in various scenarios. During mergers and acquisitions (M&A), it mitigates risks and ensures smooth transactions. Outside of M&A processes, tax insurance is valuable during restructurings, fund wind-downs, and when historical risks are detected. These policies protect your business during significant structural changes, facilitate efficient distribution of fund assets, and address any identified past risks to safeguard your financial future.
Who Can Benefit From Tax Insurance?
Horton’s tax insurance solutions are beneficial for a variety of clients, including but not limited to:
- Corporations (both public and private)
- Partnerships/funds
- Individuals
Each group can find value in the tailored protection we offer against tax-related risks.
During an M&A process, tax insurance can unlock deal value, reduce execution risk, and enable a clean seller walkway by avoiding indemnities, holdbacks, and escrows. Outside of an M&A context, it mitigates the financial impact of historical risks and ongoing transactions and prepares for streamlining future M&A processes.
Individuals can also benefit significantly from tax insurance by mitigating income tax risks and wealth transfer tax risks. This protection provides peace of mind, ensuring unexpected tax liabilities do not disrupt personal financial planning.
