This revenue procedure prescribes the salvage discount factors for 2012. These factors must be used to compute discounted estimated salvage recoverable under § 832 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 832(b)(5)(A) requires that all estimated salvage recoverable (including that which cannot be treated as an asset for state accounting purposes) be taken into account in computing the deduction for losses incurred. Under § 832(b)(5)(A), paid losses are reduced by salvage and reinsurance recovered during the taxable year. This amount is adjusted to reflect changes in discounted unpaid losses on nonlife insurance contracts and in unpaid losses on life insurance contracts. An adjustment is then made to reflect any changes in discounted estimated salvage recoverable and in reinsurance recoverable.
Pursuant to § 832(b), the amount of estimated salvage is determined on a discounted basis in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary.
This revenue procedure applies to any taxpayer that is required to discount estimated salvage recoverable under § 832.
.01 The following tables present separately for each line of business the discount factors under § 832 for 2012. All the discount factors presented in this section were determined using the applicable interest rate under § 846(c) for 2012, which is 2.89 percent, and by assuming all estimated salvage is recovered in the middle of the calendar year.
.02 Section V of Notice 88-100, 1988-2 C.B. 439, sets forth a composite method for computing discounted unpaid losses for accident years that are not separately reported on the annual statement. Rev. Proc. 2002-74, section 3.03, 2002-2 C.B. 980, provides that an insurance company that elects to use the composite method of Notice 88-100 must use the same method to compute discounted estimated salvage recoverable. Accordingly, the tables separately provide discount factors for taxpayers who elect to use the composite method of section V of Notice 88-100.
.02 These tables must be used by taxpayers irrespective of whether they elected to discount unpaid losses using their own experience under § 846(e).
