Citadel Insurance Company, Ltd.
Citadel Insurance Company,
Ltd., (Citadel) domiciled in Anguilla, British West Indies, is a
life insurance and property-casualty company designed to meet the
needs of high net worth U.S. citizens and business owners seeking
the advantages of an international insurer. Citadel has elected
under Internal Revenue Code 953(d) to be treated as a U.S. domestic
company for income tax purposes which creates advantages for certain
U.S. based transactions.
Due to Citadel’s
unique product design, premium payments can be made with liquid
as well as non-liquid assets such as private stock or the interest
in limited partnerships. In addition, by electing to be taxed as
a U.S. domestic company for income tax purposes under IRC 953 (d),
Citadel has set the stage for investors to make premium payments
with real property and intellectual property. As a result of this
IRC election, there are no withholding requirements on the gains
resulting from the sale of U.S. real property and intellectual properties
by a foreign entity. Therefore, the earnings generated from real
estate, interest and royalties owned by Citadel policies accumulate
tax deferred, inside the policy without tax withholdings under the
Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA).
