o Similar Concept as S.72 – life insurance to pay inheritance tax

o Life Assurance Saving Plan for at least 8 years
o ‘Life Insurance’ aspect not required – but often applies to retain Inheritance Tax cover
o Premiums can be monthly/weekly but at least 1 per year
o Premiums can be weighted but max difference between high and low is 100%.
o Early withdrawal allowed in certain circumstances- e.g. critical illness
• How does it work?
o Must use proceeds to pay gift tax within 1 year of encashment
o Proceeds used to pay gift tax = exempt from CAT
S.73 – Gift Tax Insurance

• Must be expressly taken out for S.73 – BUT No requirement to
actually use the money to pay Gift Tax (Can keep the money for own use)
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT VEHICLE?
o Teddy & Ann might isolate €500k of their existing investments
o Move the proceeds to S.73 policy over 8 years
o Leave €500k+ sit there as a paid-up S.73 policy
o Withdrawn sufficient amount in 12 months prior to all future gifts
• Why not more popular?
o Less well known / Bad Investment Experience
(Doesn’t apply to appointment out of Discretionary Trusts)
