INSTRUCTIONS

1. Companies Which Must File an Estimated Insurance Premiums Tax Report—Estimated insurance premiums tax installment

reports must be filed for the current calendar year by every company whose Kentucky insurance premiums tax was $5,000 or more

for the previous calendar year.

2. The following are the statutory references that apply to the taxes on your installment:

A. Domestic and Foreign Life Insurance Tax—Kentucky Revised Statute 136.330.

B. Other Than Life Insurance Tax—Kentucky Revised Statutes 136.340, 136.350, 136.370 and 136.390.

C. Retaliatory Taxes and Fees on Foreign and Alien Insurers—Kentucky Revised Statute 304.3-270.

3. How to File—Your installment reports shall be based on either:

•

Your total premiums as reported for the previous calendar year.

•

Your estimated total taxable premiums for the current calendar year. Penalty and interest apply to underestimated payments,

see instruction 7.

If your retaliatory taxes and fees for the previous calendar year exceeded $5,000, you must remit estimated payments for retalia-

tory taxes and fees. To calculate your retaliatory taxes and fees installments, use the previous calendar year or estimate for current

calendar year and remit one-third of the amount. Report this amount on line C of the Kentucky Estimated Insurance Premiums Tax

(Revenue Form 74A110).

A worksheet is provided to assist in calculating the Kentucky Estimated Insurance Premiums Tax (Revenue Form 74A110). On the

appropriate line (line A or line B), enter the amount of taxable premiums. On line E-1, enter any prior year credits to be carried

forward. These amounts should equal what was reported on the bottom of page 4 of the previous year’s

Insurance Premiums Tax Return (Revenue Form 74A100). On line E-2, enter the amount of guaranty fund

credits available for the current calendar year. On line F, subtract your adjustments from your anticipated

premiums tax liability; and on lines G, H and I calculate your payments based on one-third of the total

estimated tax liability. This should assist in calculating your installments and help in alleviating overpay-

ments/credits created by the guaranty fund assessment credits.

4. When to File—The first installment of estimated tax must be filed with the Department of Revenue on or before June 1 of the

current calendar year. Detach and mail the first installment with payment. The second installment of estimated tax must be filed on

year. Payment of the second installment must be submitted with the Estimated Insurance Premiums Tax—Second Installment,
