Insurance tax rise battle intensifies

By Olive Carterton

A campaign to fight any further rises in insurance premium tax on private health insurance was set to be resumed as we went to press.

The Association of Medical Insurance Intermediaries (AMII) launched a petition against any increase in insurance premium tax (Independent Practitioner Today, April 2017) with the aim of securing 100,000 signatures within six months so the whole issue can be debated in Parliament.

But the snap General Election meant it had to put the petition on ice until the new Parliament.
