For those products which are classified tax free:
- We invest policyholders’ premiums, net of our charges, into a tax exempt fund. Due to the special concessions available only to Friendly Societies, this fund pays no tax on its income or capital gains.
- The exception to this is dividend income received from investments in UK company shares, from which corporation tax at a current rate of 10% is deducted. The policy proceeds you ultimately receive are free of any personal income tax or capital gains tax liability, whatever your marginal rate of tax.*
