Statewide captive insurance review could reshape Maryland’s regulatory landscape
  • Health systems could pursue captive tax relief 
  • Wider captive study could impact other sectors and bring new regulation, taxes 
  • Washington State outcome feared, but Maryland taking informed approach 

Maryland has moved towards closer scrutiny of captive arrangements as lawmakers recently passed Senate Bill 890, requiring the Maryland Insurance Administration (MIA) to conduct a comprehensive study of how captives owned by Maryland-based organisations are used, regulated, and taxed within the state. 

Under SB 890, the MIA, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, must study the use, regulation, and taxation of captives by entities in the State.

As cyber market softens, increased captive role remains 
  • Captives provide greater protection against market shifts 
  • Rate reductions may not be sustainable and could reverse 
  • Cyber frequently written as part of multi-line policies 

Despite a sustained decline in commercial cyber insurance rates, captive utilisation continues to increase, with captives playing an ever-greater role in how many organisations finance cyber risk. 

While softer pricing has traditionally reduced the incentive to retain risk within a captive, the current cyber market is not triggering a widespread retreat from captive utilisation.

Plaintiffs appeal IRS ‘transactions of interest’ ruling on 831(b) captives

The plaintiffs in Drake Plastics Ltd. Co. v. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have filed an appeal challenging the remaining portion of the court’s April ruling on IRS micro-captive regulations.

Following the decision earlier this month by the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, which struck down the IRS’s designation of certain 831(b) captives as “listed transactions,” the plaintiffs are now seeking to overturn the court’s finding that the IRS appropriately classified micro-captive arrangements as “transactions of interest”.
