24.7 Issues relating <strong>to</strong> insurance<br />

• Primary Insurance - Collection of premia (other than pure life insurance) is<br />

liable <strong>to</strong> GST/<strong>VAT</strong>. When the life insurance is combined with other insurance like<br />

medical/health it has <strong>to</strong> be apportioned.<br />

• Re-insurance – Local - This is a part of an insurance business and therefore<br />

GST/<strong>VAT</strong> has <strong>to</strong> be charged on the premia other than on life insurance.<br />

• Re-insurance – Foreign - The insurance companies who pay re-insurance<br />

premia <strong>to</strong> companies outside Sri Lanka need not pay GST/<strong>VAT</strong> on such<br />

insurance premia because the supply and consumption of service take place<br />

outside Sri Lanka.<br />

• Insurance Claims - If the repair should take place in an assigned garage, and<br />

if the garage is a registered person, the garage should charge GST/<strong>VAT</strong> and<br />

issue a tax-invoice <strong>to</strong> the insurance company. The garage should declare that<br />

amount as output tax. Insurance company can claim it as input credit (Owner is<br />

not involved)<br />

- If the owner has <strong>to</strong> repair the vehicle on his own and submit bills <strong>to</strong> the<br />

Insurance Company:<br />

- In such cases the insurance company has no contract with the garage.<br />

The garage owner, if registered, should charge <strong>VAT</strong> and issue a taxinvoice<br />

in respect of repair charges. The insurance company should pay<br />

<strong>VAT</strong> only on such invoice and not on any other invoices that may be<br />

produced by the owner of the vehicle in respect of spare parts which he<br />

may have purchased for the purpose of such repair. There should be<br />

only one invoice form the garage and the value of supply may include the<br />

value of spare parts supplied by the owner. The insurance company is<br />

not obliged <strong>to</strong> reimburse <strong>VAT</strong> <strong>to</strong> the owner in respect of spare parts<br />
