| (1) |
Where a causal event occurs in respect of an investment policy, the insurer may not on account of that causal event deduct causal event charges which in total exceed the maximum prescribed in subregulation (2). |
| (2) |
The maximum deductible charges for purposes of subregulation (1) are: |
| (a) |
where the causal event is one contemplated in paragraph (a), (c), (f) or (g) of the definition "causal event", the charge percentage (15% or less) of the investment value immediately before the causal event; |
| (b) |
where the causal event is one contemplated in paragraph (b) of the definition "causal event", a percentage of the investment value immediately before the causal event equal to the charge percentage (15% or less) multiplied by the amount by which the basic premium has been reduced divided by the basic premium before it was reduced; |
| (c) |
where the causal event is one contemplated in paragraph (d) or (e) of the definition "causal event", the charge percentage (15% or less) of the amount by which the investment value immediately before the causal event has been reduced. |
| (a) |
The insurer may, in addition to causal event charges, deduct in respect of any causal event, either during or after the charge term, an administration charge of not more than R500. |
[Regulation 5.12(3)(a) substituted by regulation 6(o) of Notice No. 1437 of 2017]
| (b) |
Despite paragraph (a), the administration charge must, if necessary, be reduced proportionally so that the investment value immediately prior to the causal event, less the causal event charge and administration charge, is not smaller than 70% of the investment value immediately before the causal event. |
