Counter-offer: A proposal that is made as an alternative to the client who may not qualify for a standard insurance policy. It revises the initial offer and often includes special provisions or higher premiums to cover the higher risk the insurance company takes on.

Types of counter-offers

Substandard Premium Rating	The insured carries higher risk than in ordinary circumstances as reflected in the risk evaluation process, it requires policyholders to pay a higher premium than that for standard policies.
Case-based Exclusions	An exclusion is a policy provision that limits coverage for some types of risk or specified conditions. It narrows the scope of coverage provided by the insuring agreement.
Postpone	Insurance companies are not able to offer the applied coverage at the time of application, but probably will reconsider the application in the future.
Decline	An applied coverage cannot be offered as the risk incurred exceeds insurance company’s risk acceptance level at the time being.

PROTECT YOUR WHOLE FAMILY AND APPLY FOR A HIGHER TAX DEDUCTION AMOUNT

To help you budget smarter, the premiums you pay for AIA’s VHIS Certified Plans is eligible to be deducted from your annual taxable income, up to an aggregate limit of HKD8,000 for VHIS policies per insured person per tax payer per year.

There is no cap on the number of VHIS policies that a taxpayer can use to claim tax deductions each year, as long as all the policies are held by the same taxpayer and cover yourself and/or your dependants. Dependants include your spouse or child, or a parent, grandparent or sibling of you or your spouse.

In other words, if you take up AIA’s VHIS Certified Plans for yourself, your spouse, your son and your mother as an example (i.e. four insured persons) and pay the required premiums in the same taxable year, the annual tax deduction amount for you would be up to HKD32,000 (i.e. HKD8,000 x 4).

The illustration below shows the tax deduction amount you could claim if you were the policy holder for four insured persons, for example.
