You do not have to buy on site caravan insurance

Posted by Lachlan Bethel in Top Insurance Quotes

The site owners of your chosen caravan locations may try to give you the impression that you are obliged to buy their on site caravan insurance if you want to locate your caravan on their site.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. You are under absolutely no obligation to buy on site caravan insurance.

The site owner may have every right to ensure that you have appropriate insurance cover prior to allowing you access to their site and if so, this would be perfectly understandable – particularly from a third party liability viewpoint.

IRS Guidance on Reporting Group Health Insurance

Posted by Lachlan Bethel in Top Insurance Quotes

Today, the Internal Revenue Service issued interim guidance to employers on informational reporting on each employee’s annual Form W-2 of the cost of the health insurance coverage they sponsor for employees. The IRS is also requesting comments on this interim guidance. The IRS emphasized that this new reporting to employees is for their information only, to inform them of the cost of their health coverage, and does not cause excludable employer-provided health coverage to become taxable; employer-provided health coverage continues to be excludable from an employee’s income, and is not taxable.

Reporting is Voluntary for All Employers for 2011 and Small Employers for 2012

Insurance protection for your valuables

Posted by Lachlan Bethel in Top Insurance Quotes

If you’ve inherited or were given a valuable piece of jewelry or art, you need to do more than find a special spot for safe keeping. You need to make sure you have enough insurance to protect it.

Standard home insurance policies provide coverage for household belongings, but they have limits for precious items, such as jewelry, fine art and furs.

The standard home insurance policy’s coverage limits for theft of jewelry, for instance, is usually $1,500, according to the Insurance Information Institute (I.I.I.).
