Typical insurance wrappers are unit-linked insurances, i.e. endowment insurances and capital redemption contracts, which are all forms of saving through insurance.
By using an insurance wrapper, you can take advantage of the compound interest effect efficiently
You do not pay tax on the investments’ return when you switch investment products within the insurance wrapper. You only pay taxes on any return when you withdraw savings from the insurance wrapper. As an insurance saver, you can thus reuse the sales profit within an investment insurance wrapper. Benefit is created from the compound interest effect.
When you withdraw funds from the insurance for your own use, the return is taxed as capital income. Contributions you have paid into the insurance are not deductible from your personal taxation.
