The FSCA has just released their response to comments received on the published draft Exemptions from the STIA and LTIA Regulations.
In addition, the FSCA also published the following two exemption notices which relate thereto:
| 1. | FSCA INS Notice 4 of 2020
FSCA Insurance Notice 4 exempts independent intermediaries from Regulation 4.2(3) insofar as it relates to receiving, holding or in any other manner dealing with premiums payable to a short-term insurer, subject to compliance with the conditions as set out in subparagraph (2) of the notice. |
| 2. | FSCA INS Notice 5 of 2020
FSCA Insurance Notice 5 exempts independent intermediaries from Regulation 8.2(2) insofar as it relates to receiving, holding or in any other manner dealing with premiums payable to a long-term insurer, subject to compliance with the conditions as set out in subparagraph (2) of the notice. |
The exemption in the notices is subject thereto that certain conditions, as set out in each notice, are met by the independent intermediary. Should the independent intermediary fail to comply with any of the listed conditions, the exemption will no longer apply.
Both these exemption notices came into effect on 16 March 2020 and will expire on 15 March 2022, two years from the effective date.
