Instructions for Form 570

Nonadmitted Insurance Tax Return

References in these instructions are to the California Revenue and Taxation Code (R&TC) and the California Insurance Code.

What’s New

Do Not Round Cents to Dollars – On this form, do not round cents to the nearest whole dollar. Enter the amounts with dollars and cents.

General Information

A user of this form may have to ﬁle up to four Form 570 tax returns in one year if the user purchases nonadmitted insurance contracts in each calendar quarter.

Assembly Bill (AB) 315, effective July 21, 2011, conforms California law to the Nonadmitted and Reinsurance Reform Act (NRRA) that is part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, enacted by the federal government and authorizes the collection of tax on 100 percent of the premiums of California home state insured policies. Thus, if a person is determined to be a California home state insured, then all premiums related to all insurance policies obtained from a nonadmitted insurer are subject to tax, as long as the premiums are for policies related to risks within the United States. This

is a change from when California only taxed premiums related to California risk. The NRRA only allows one state to tax a home state insured, so proration of premiums among the states for taxation no longer occurs.

For more information, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for nonadmitted insurance tax.

To receive nonadmitted insurance tax information by email, go to ftb.ca.gov and search for subscription services.

Deﬁnitions:

•Home state – the state where the insured maintains its principal place of business, or if individual, the individual’s principal residence; if 100% of the insured risk is located in a state outside the insured’s principal place

of business or principal residence, then it is where the greatest percent of the insured’s taxable premium for that insurance contract is allocated.

•Principal place of business – the state where the insured maintains its headquarters and where the insured’s high-level ofﬁcers direct, control, and coordinate the business activities; or if the insured’s high-level ofﬁcers direct, control, and coordinate the business activities in more than one state, the state in which the greatest percentage of the insured’s taxable premium for that insurance contract is allocated; or if the insured maintains its headquarters or the insured’s high-level ofﬁcers direct, control, and coordinate the business activities outside the U.S., the state to which the greatest percentage of the insured’s taxable premium for that insurance contract is allocated.

•Principal residence – the state where the insured resides for the greatest number of days during a calendar year; or if the insured’s principal residence is located outside the U.S., the state to which the greatest percentage

of the insured’s taxable premium for that insurance contract is allocated.

•Home state insured – or “home state insured applicant” – a person whose home state is California and who has received a certiﬁcate or evidence of coverage as set forth in Section 1764 of the Insurance Code or a policy as issued by an eligible surplus line insurer, or a person who is an applicant.

•Multistate risk – means a risk covered by a nonadmitted insurer with insured exposures in more than one state.

The total gross premium paid or to be paid for all nonadmitted insurance placed in a single transaction with one underwriter or group of underwriters, whether in one or more policies, in that calendar quarter during which the taxable insurance contract or contracts took effect or were renewed, is now the entire gross premium charged on all nonadmitted insurance for the California home state insured. Enter only premiums for policies related to risks within the U.S.

Private Mail Box (PMB) – Include the PMB in the address ﬁeld. Write “PMB” ﬁrst, then the box number. Example: 111 Main Street PMB 123.

Foreign Address – Enter the information in the following order: City, Country, Province/Region, and Postal Code. Follow the country’s practice for entering the postal code. Do not abbreviate the country’s name.

A Purpose

Use Form 570, Nonadmitted Insurance Tax Return, to determine the tax on premiums paid or to be paid to nonadmitted insurers on contracts covering risks. Also, use Form 570 to ﬁle an amended return. See Section E, Amended Returns, for more information.

B Who Must Pay Nonadmitted Insurance Tax

The tax is imposed on a home state insured who independently purchases or renews an insurance contract during the calendar quarter from an insurer, including wholly-owned subsidiaries, not authorized to transact insurance business in California.

If you do not know if the insurer is authorized to conduct business in California, call the FTB Nonadmitted Insurance Desk at 916.845.7448.

The tax will not be imposed on any of the following:

•Insurance coverage for which a tax on the gross premium is due or has been paid by surplus line brokers pursuant to Insurance Code Section 1775.5 (surplus lines tax).

•Gross premiums on businesses governed by provisions of Insurance Code Section 1760.5 (reinsurance of the liability of an admitted insurer and marine, aircraft, and interstate railroad insurance).

•Insurance coverage for which a tax on the gross premium is due or has been paid by risk retention groups pursuant to Insurance Code Section 132.

Agents or brokers with a valid power of attorney to ﬁle a return on behalf of the insured must enter the requested information in the space below line 15.

C Tax Rate

The tax rate is three percent (.03). This rate is applied to the gross premium paid or to be paid, less premiums returned because of cancellation or reduction of premium on which a tax has been paid. Do not include a stamping fee.

D When and Where to File

File Form 570 on or before the ﬁrst day of the third month following the close of any calendar quarter during which a nonadmitted insurance contract took effect or was renewed:

Contract effective date	Return due date
January - March	June 1
April - June	September 1
July - September	December 1
October - December	March 1

Check the “Amended” box at the top of the form. Attach a copy of the original return behind the amended return and write “copy” in red across the face of the original return. When completing line 1 through line 15 of the amended return, use the amounts that should have been reported on the original return.

Amended returns must be ﬁled within four years of the original due date or within one year from the date of the overpayment, whichever period expires later.

Attach copies of all contracts for changes to correct an error on the original return or to claim a refund.

Do not ﬁle an amended return to claim returned premiums. See the Speciﬁc Line Instructions for line 5.

F Third Party Designee

If the entity wants to allow the FTB to discuss its 2013 return with the paid preparer who signed it, check the “Yes” box in the signature area of the return. This authorization applies only to the individual whose signature appears in the “Paid Preparer’s Use Only” section of the return. It does not apply to the business, if any, shown in that section.

If the “Yes” box is checked, the entity is authorizing the FTB to call the paid preparer to answer any questions that may arise during the processing of its return. The entity is also authorizing the paid preparer to:

Form 570 Instructions 2012 Page 1

•Give the FTB any information that is missing from the return.

•Call the FTB for information about the processing of the return or the status of any related refund or payments.

•Respond to certain FTB notices about math errors, offsets, and return preparation.

•The entity is not authorizing the paid preparer to receive any refund check, bind the entity to anything (including any additional tax liability), or otherwise represent the entity before the FTB.

The authorization will automatically end one year from the date this tax return was ﬁled. If the entity wants to expand the paid preparer’s authorization, get form FTB 3520, Power of Attorney Declaration for the Franchise Tax Board. If the entity wants to revoke the authorization before it ends, notify the FTB in writing or call 800.852.5711.

Enter the quarter that the returned premiums were originally taxed. If the returned premiums are from more than one quarter or policy, attach a schedule showing the amount of returned premiums from each quarter and/or policy.

Returned premiums must be claimed on a return for the calendar quarter during which the returned premiums were received.

Line 11 – Interest will be charged on any late payment and penalty from the due date to the date paid. Interest compounds daily and the interest rate is adjusted twice a year.
