    Short: Keeping on top of IPT updates

    In this GCP Short, produced in partnership with IPT specialists TMF Group, Richard is joined by Christophe Bourdaire. As captives write business around the world, particularly when on a direct basis, they have to be mindful of complex and often changing local taxes and levies in each territory that they are active. Thankfully, there are specialists on hand that make it their business to know how to navigate and comply with these niche and sometimes confusing compliance tests. In a 15-minute conversation, TMF's Christophe updates listeners on some of the recent changes, additions and removals of local taxes and levies that are relevant to international insurance programmes and captives.

You also hear from Aaron Slattery, client services director at Jeometri. Aaron is a chartered loss adjuster with over a decade’s experience working in insurance, including claims and captive management. He currently serves as a director on numerous insurance companies.

We are also joined by Malcolm Cutts-Watson, one of the independent non-executive directors for Acer's Guernsey captive, and he provides his own iNED view on the programme and how it is run. Chris is open to hearing from fellow captive owners who may want to explore or learn more about Account Receivables risk.
