Partial surrender of insurance bond caused immediate tax charge (First-tier Tribunal) | Practical Law
The First-tier Tribunal has held that where there is a partial surrender of an insurance bond consisting of a number of individual life insurance policies (segments), the default position in general law is that there is a partial surrender of each segment (horizontal surrender) rather than a total surrender of a number of segments (vertical surrender).
