Overseas Partners to lose $370 of premiums following UPS Tax Court decision

Overseas Partners Limited expects to lose about 35 per cent of its annual premium volume as a result of the US Internal Revenue Service’s recent favorable tax ruling over United Parcel Service of America, whose shipper’s risk program is OPL’s biggest source of revenue.
The annual dollar cost to OPL is likely to be in the region of $370 million in lost premiums and approximately $200 million of net income, according to the company’s own estimates.
