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 />
