Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) is a fiscal levy imposed on insurance premiums in many jurisdictions, significantly affecting the total cost of coverage for policyholders and the competitive positioning of insurers.

Missteps in IPT compliance can result in penalties, reputational damage, and friction with multinational clients, making robust tax governance and systems integration critical.
