Tax liability insurance products fully or partially indemnify the insured’s tax risks, offering coverage for scenarios such as tax liabilities imposed by tax authorities, defence costs against tax claims, and gross-up taxes on proceeds. This coverage effectively transfers tax liability to the insurance company, providing businesses with financial protection against unexpected tax liabilities.
