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).
