624.510 Tax on wet marine and
transportation insurance. ---
(1) On or before March 1 of each year each insurer
shall file with the Department of Revenue a report of its gross
underwriting profit on wet marine and transportation insurance, as
defined in s. 624.607(2), written in this state during the calendar
year next preceding and shall at the same time pay to the
Department of Revenue a tax of 0.75 percent of such gross
underwriting profit.
(2) Such gross underwriting profit shall be
ascertained by deducting from the net premiums (i.e., gross
premiums less all return premiums and premiums for reinsurance) on
such wet marine and transportation insurance contracts the net
losses paid (i.e., gross losses paid less salvage and recoveries on
reinsurance ceded) during such calendar year under such
contracts.
(3) The income tax imposed under chapter 220 which is
paid by any insurer shall be credited against, and to the extent
thereof shall discharge, the liability for tax imposed by this
section for the annual period in which such income tax payment is
made. The aggregate income tax credit for any insurer under this
subsection and s. 624.509(4) shall not exceed the amount of tax
paid under chapter 220 in any calendar year. As to any insurer
issuing policies insuring against loss or damage from the risks of
fire, tornado, and certain casualty lines, the tax imposed by this
section, as intended and contemplated by this subsection, shall be
construed to mean the net amount of such tax remaining after there
has been credited thereon such gross premium receipts tax as may be
payable by such insurer in pursuance of the imposition of such tax
by any incorporated cities or towns in the state for firemen's
relief and pension funds and policemen's retirement funds
maintained in such cities or towns, as provided in and by relevant
provisions of Florida Statutes. For purposes of this subsection,
payments of estimated income tax under chapter 220 shall be deemed
paid either at the time the insurer actually files its annual
return under chapter 220 or at the time such return is required to
be filed, whichever first occurs, and not at such earlier time as
such payments of estimated tax are actually
made.
