California Form 570 PDF Details

Last week, the California Franchise Tax Board released its annual Form 570 tax report. The report provides detailed data on state tax revenue and spending for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. According to the report, total tax revenue increased by 5.8 percent over the previous year, while general fund spending increased by only 2.5 percent. This discrepancy is due in part to a $2.6 billion increase in personal income tax revenue, which accounted for more than half of the total increase in tax revenue. In particular, investment income and capital gains contributed significantly to the growth in personal income tax revenue. Meanwhile, corporate income taxes fell by 5.3 percent from the previous year. Despite this decline, corporate taxes still account for more than one-

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:

F Third Party Designee

all information using CAPITAL LETTERS. If completing Form 570 by hand, enter all the information requested using black or blue ink.

Part II – Tax Computation

Do not show net or negative amounts on line 1 through line 4 to account for returned premiums. See line 5 for returned premiums. Only use line 1 through line 4 to report taxable premiums paid or to be paid during the calendar quarter.

Line 1 – Enter all gross premiums paid or to be paid on risks located entirely within California for policies entered into or renewed during the calendar quarter.

Line 2 – Enter all gross premiums paid or to be paid by California home state insured for all policies issued by a nonadmitted insurer for coverage both inside and outside of California which were entered into or renewed during the calendar quarter. Note: Enter only premiums for policies related to risks within the U.S.

Line 5 – Enter three percent (.03) of the premiums returned during the calendar quarter because of cancellation or reduction of premiums on which nonadmitted insurance tax was paid.

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. Refunds resulting from returned premiums must be claimed within four years from the original due date of the return, four years from the date the return was filed or one year from the date of cancellation or reduction of premium, whichever is later.

If you are an agent or broker filing this return on behalf of the insured, the refund will be mailed to you in the name of the insured if a signed Power of Attorney is on file allowing the FTB to do so.

Attach copies of all contracts where there was a reduction of premiums returned or cancellation on which nonadmitted insurance tax was paid.

Line 6 – Enter the amount of overpayment you requested to be applied from a prior quarter that was not applied on a previously filed return.

If the amount on line 8 is more than the amount on line 4, subtract line 4 from line 8 and enter the result in brackets on line 9, your credits exceed your tax.

Line 10 – If you do not pay the tax due by the due date, a penalty of 10% of the amount of tax due will be imposed. Enter 10% of the amount of tax not paid by the due date. (A penalty of 25% of the amount of tax due will be imposed when nonpayment or late payment is due to fraud.)

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. If you do not include interest with your late payment or include only a portion of it, the FTB will compute the interest and bill you for it.
