Excessive and inappropriate taxation of property-casualty insurance companies adversely impacts the insurance marketplace, and can raise policyholder costs.

Like so many other types of service-oriented businesses, insurers’ abilities to expand employment, pass on savings and grow service offerings are restricted by burdensome tax rates. 

Specifically at the state level, AIA’s interests are in defeating proposals to impose other new tax burdens on insurers and oppose any increase in premium taxes – which already total more than $14 billion each year.
