What is relevant life insurance?

A relevant life policy is a life insurance plan employers provide to employees. The policy is an individual death-in-service benefit.

Also known as death in service benefit or group life insurance, this product is tax-deductible and helps to retain staff with ‘company perks’.

Is there a difference between Group & Relevant Life?

Both types of insurance are employer-funded, providing similar tax benefits. However, there are key differences in their application criteria:

Group Life Insurance.

Requires a minimum of three employees to qualify. This option is ideal for businesses with multiple employees, offering a straightforward way to provide life insurance cover without any underwriting.

Group vs relevant life insurance - people talking in office

Relevant Life Insurance.

Developed for smaller companies or individuals who don’t meet the group policy criteria. Each policy requires individual underwriting, making it suitable for companies with fewer than three employees.

Relevant life insurance

Things you should know about relevant life plans.

All Relevant Life insurance policies MUST be written into Trust with the business as the owner of the policy. Benefits will be paid into a Discretionary Trust direct to the employees family.

It is important to remember that this is not key person insurance; it is a type of business protection to cover individual employees and not your company.

Is relevant life insurance the right policy for your company:

Paid for and taken out by the company for employees
Pays out a tax-free cash lump sum on the death and critical illness of an employee
Maximum term to the 75th Birthday of an employee
Cover can be decreasing or level-term
