Section 22:2092 - Offsets for assessments paidA. An insurer may offset against any premium tax liability to the state an assessment not greater than twenty percent of the amount of such assessment for each of the five calendar years following the year in which such assessment was paid in full. In the event a member insurer should voluntarily cease doing business in this state, all uncredited assessments may be credited against any premium, franchise, or income tax due for the year it ceases doing business.B. The amount of the assessment payable shall be reduced from the amount otherwise fixed in this Part if the insurer shall file a sworn statement with the annual report required by R.S. 22:131 through 135 as of December thirty-first for the reporting period that at least the following amounts of the total admitted assets of the insurer, less assets in an amount equal to the reserves on its policies issued in foreign countries in which it is authorized to do business and which countries require an investment therein as a condition of doing business, are invested and maintained in qualifying Louisiana investments as defined in R.S. 22:832(C). If one-sixth of the total admitted assets of the insurer are in qualifying Louisiana investments, then the offset shall be sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the amount otherwise assessed. If at least one-fifth of the total admitted assets of the insurer are in qualifying Louisiana investments, then the offset shall be seventy-five percent of the amount otherwise assessed. If at least one-fourth of the total admitted assets of the insurer are in qualifying Louisiana investments, then the offset shall be eighty-five percent of the amount otherwise assessed. If at least one-third of the total admitted assets of the insurer are in qualifying Louisiana investments, then the offset shall be ninety-five percent of the amount otherwise assessed.C. An insurer may transfer any offset as described in this Section with the prior approval of the commissioner to an affiliated insurer. For the purposes of this Section: (1) "Affiliated insurer" means an insurance company licensed or holding a certificate of authority to do business in this state which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, another insurer.(2) "Control" means holding, directly or indirectly, the ownership of, or power to vote, at least eighty percent of the voting stock of another member insurer.D. Any sums which are acquired by refund, from the association by insurers, and which have theretofore been offset against premium, franchise, and income taxes as provided in Subsection A of this Section shall be paid by the insurers to this state in such manner as the tax authorities may require. The association shall notify the commissioner that such refunds have been made.Acts 1991, No. 998, §1, eff. Sept. 30, 1991; Redesignated from R.S. 22:1395.12 by Acts 2008, No. 415, §1, eff.
