General insurance
Insurance Policyholder Taxation Manual, published by HM Revenue & Customs on 19 March 2016, defines general insurance as: ‘the classes of insurance business set out in Schedule 1 to the Regulated Activities Order and consisting of various types of indemnity insurance, as distinct from long term insurance (including life insurance).’
In North America, this is referred to as property and casualty insurance.
