Solar system: Proper insurance against theft

Recently there have been frequent reports of thefts of solar installations, where thieves dismantle the equipment directly from the roof. The homeowner then wonder no bad thing if the insurance does not cover the theft of the solar system. Often the homeowners' insurance brings only limited protection. Solar Leipzig (red) - More and more homeowners opt for a solar system on your own roof. That can be rewarding financially, seem to have noticed even thieves and steal solar panels no longer only from warehouses and trucks, but also directly from the roof. Affected are then often nasty surprise, because the theft of a Sorlaranlage is not covered in the insurance for residential buildings in general. Residential buildings insurance does not qualify for any damage to Often the homeowners' insurance protects only limited solar and not against any danger. "The is basically related to homeowners insurance only for damage caused by fire, water, storm and hail," said Andrea Heyer, Insurance Expert of the Consumer Saxony. Thus it excludes - other than the insurance - not with a burglary and vandalism. Anyone who wishes to hedge against any risk of his solar system, must therefore take out special insurance photovoltaics, which is a so-called all-risk policy includes. "There are then covered all risks, except those that are expressly excluded, such as operational, for example by abrasion. Solar insurance costs vary significantly A premium for the insurance of a solar energy system depends on the size and the value and service to be provided the facility. It depends on the insurance coverage to all components that are needed for normal operation of the solar system. As with all insurance companies is also worthwhile here to compare because the costs vary significantly by provider, as reported by the Consumer Saxony.

Elaborate risk estimate for D & O insurance

Lawyers, brokers and insurers exert massive criticism of the new law regarding the appropriateness of executive compensation (forestay), adopted by the German parliament in mid-June this year. It's on 5 August 2009 entered into force. Through various schemes, the law is to ensure that when fixing the remuneration of directors continue to put greater incentives for sustainable corporate development. Also, it should be easier to cut salaries at the deteriorating situation of the company. In addition, through the forestay at D & O insurance companies, the agreement of a deductible for board members is mandatory. With the so-called directors 'and officers' liability (D & O) managers protect their companies against claims that may make the company itself or a third party to the manager because of a breach of duty. "Does a company is an insurance policy to hedge against risks of a board member from his professional activities for the company from a deductible of at least 10 percent of the damages provision at the rate of half times the fixed annual remuneration of board member," says the appropriate wording. For existing D & O insurance was a transitional period until 1 July 2010 granted. Until that time, these contracts to the new laws need to be adjusted. Die Anwendung des Gesetzes und dessen Interpretation ist derzeit noch mit vielen Fragezeichen versehen. "The law will pass the ultimate goal, as the board members will secure the future private. As a result, the whole leads to an insane bureaucracy," says Michael Hecker attorney specializing in insurance law from Munich. That the liability of the Board is not limited to, be harmful to the limited liability companies. "In the law it is to blind activism of the Federal Government is going to the demands of the market over," says Hecker. Obviously, the insurers do also difficult to calculate appropriate premiums for risk-and D & O insurance. "The calculation of insurance premiums is not transparent", Michael Hendricks, Düsseldorf lawyer and expert in D & O insurance. For DAX companies, the prices varied depending on the provider from 5000 to 50,000 euros. This price gouging would be detrimental to the whole market. "Some insurers have dropped quickly so-called deductible coverage on the market, without clarifying the many open questions to begin." Says Hendricks. All experts agree that a ban on self-insurance would be unconstitutional. From a "class struggle birth in the wake of the election campaign," says Mark English from the industrial insurer ACE in Frankfurt, which draws since the mid-nineties on the German market related risks. Risk-adequate premiums had been achieved in recent years, hardly more. As a consequence, ACE had withdrawn from the market, where a final price risk-taking was not possible. "This is a question of culture and the consequent risk underwriting and risk management," says Deutsch. One reason for the policy of a more conservative underwriting lies in the history of the insurer. ACE was founded in 1985 with headquarters in the Cayman Islands by a consortium of 34 companies. Since one years ACE operates as a limited company under Swiss law. The risk estimate for D & O insurance is made up of several components. The, including profitability and the level of indebtedness of the company, the maturity of debts, the liquidity situation and the quality of management. As part of a balance sheet analysis, the insurance risk managers to raise the performance of the last three years. Moreover, the assessment of an industry positioning, and possibly the inclusion of external ratings. Thus the burden on the insurer is relatively high. "There are, however, the premiums for years in the descent, there is currently no healthy competition," says Dankwart of Schultzendorff, head of the ACE for the countries Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There Schultzendorff of mind that the bottom line is the entire insurance industry must pay for it collectively, if not calculate individual account of risk insurance.

Canada - tax haven?

The newspaper La Presse tells us this morning that Mr. Bernie Ecclestone Revenue Canada requires a written assurance of a federal tax exemption on the $ 75 million to receive the three levels of government over five years for the return of Grand Prix Montreal. Mr Ecclestone does not pay tax in Canada because his company - Formula One Management - is a British company. It suggests that it must pay taxes anyway in Great Britain. What is it exactly?

There is a tax treaty between Canada and the United Kingdom under which a Canadian taxpayer, who receives income on which we made deductions at source in the UK, can reduce all the taxes it must pay in Canada. The same goes for British taxpayers like Mr. Ecclestone. It can reduce the taxes it must pay to the British Government a sum equal to the amount withheld by Revenue Canada. Why, then, requires Mr. Ecclestone does not pay Canadian tax on income that will affect here? Did he act of patriotism by paying taxes to the British government? If the British company was incorporated in a tax haven which would protect the tax, it would be in the interest of Mr Ecclestone to avoid any deduction at source since it could not deduct the tax so withheld the amount he should give the government that has jurisdiction over Formula One Management. There, within the United Kingdom, tax havens. The company Formula One Management is owned by Delta Topco, a company incorporated in Jersey, a tax haven of the British Isles. The shareholders of this company are funds managed by CVC Capital Partners (70%), by JP Morgan (20%) and the entourage of Bernie Eclestone (10%). The head office of CVC Capital Partners is in Luxembourg, another tax haven. How the Government of Canada can accept the request from Bernie Ecclestone and continue its hunt for tax havens?
