- After policy expiration, the Insured executes a “commutation and release” agreement. Remaining premium is calculated based on the overall performance of the policy.
- Funds stay in the trust to be used for policy renewal.
- Insured receives “Premium Vacation.”
- Tax neutral scenario:
- premiums “returned” are taxable;
- premiums “paid” are tax deductible.
