Tax Estimator Enhancement Launching This Week
The popular Tax Estimator tool now includes the Diligent Effort/Disclosure Matrix information. This new feature will launch later this week.
One of the most confusing pieces of the surplus lines insurance puzzle is discerning whether there is a need for a diligent effort. For that reason, we developed the Diligent Effort/Disclosure Matrix.
All the information in the Diligent Effort/Disclosure Matrix is now in the Tax Estimator tool! When you are trying to figure out tax costs based on the type of coverage, the Tax Estimator tool will also tell you whether the coverage will require a diligent effort, a disclosure form, or is exempt altogether.
This new feature will be available on the Tax Estimator mobile app, as well as in SLIP and on FSLSO.com.
PalmCast: Give it a Listen
Last week, we published the latest episode of the FSLSO PalmCast featuring Kevin McCarty, former Insurance Commissioner.
Tune in and listen to his many stories about all things insurance and what it was like during those volatile hurricane seasons in 2004 and 2005.
McCarty spent 13 years as Insurance Commissioner for Florida and has since founded Celtic Global Consulting.
Find the FSLSO PalmCast on iTunes and Stitcher.
