Executive Income Protection
If you’re working through your own limited company, Executive Income Protection can help you if you become too ill or injured to work.
It works just like an ordinary income protection policy in that it offers you a replacement income. The main difference is that executive income protection is taken out and paid for by the business on behalf of the Director or employee. Premiums qualify as allowable business expenses & can be offset against corporation tax.
Benefits for the employer and the employee
- Employee continues to be paid while they are off work and should not be liable for Benefit in Kind on premiums paid (based on current BIK rules)
- Premiums qualify as allowable business expenses that can be offset against corporation tax.
- Cost of pension contributions can also be covered under this plan. Option to protect contributions up to 33% of salary to a maximum of €50,000. Will ensure employer pension contributions are maintained whilst claiming on the policy.
- This benefit can form an important part of a remuneration package and an important feature to support the attraction and retention of employees.

- Waiver of premium included –employer won’t pay any premiums while we’re paying a claim for an absent employee and the plan will carry on as normal. This means if or when they return to work and need to claim again - they can.
- Partial Benefit - If the employee returns part time after an illness, they may be eligible for a partial benefit payment to supplement their income.
