Insurance tax draft regulations

Changes to the insurance tax regulations are needed for rules covering tax credits and combined reporting. 

The tax credit rules currently contained in Part 32 are minimal and apply to expired tax credits.  As such, the Department proposes to repeal those credit rules, similar to the approach taken in the Article 9-A Part 5 regulations. 

The combined reporting rules for insurance corporations contained in existing Part 33 are minimal and direct insurance companies to use the Article 9-A combination rules contained in Subpart 6-2.  The combined reporting statutory changes in corporate tax reform only applied to Article 9-A and were not extended to Article 33.  Therefore, revisions to Part 33 are needed to provide guidance specifically applicable to combined filing for insurance corporations.
