S.04.05 — Activity by country – location of risk

General comments

This section relates to annual submission of information for individual insurance and reinsurance undertakings only.

The reporting instructions for template S.04.05 should be read in conjunction with the reporting instructions for S.04.03 and S.04.04. Across these three templates, entities shall report all business from two distinct perspectives: location of underwriting and location of risk. Template S.04.05 focuses on the location of risk.

For the purposes of this template and in the case of direct insurance, the ‘country in which the risk is situated’ means:

  • a) the country in which the property is situated, where the insurance relates either to buildings or to buildings and their contents, in so far as the contents are covered by the same insurance policy;
  • b) the country of registration, where the insurance relates to vehicles of any type;
  • c) the country where the policy holder took out the policy in the case of policies of a duration of four months or less covering travel or holiday risks, whatever the class concerned;
  • d) the country in which the credit/receivable is situated, where the insurance relates to credit/receivables;
  • e) in all cases not explicitly covered by points (a), (b), (c) or (d), the country in which either of the following is situated:
    • i. the habitual residence of the policy holder; or
    • ii. if the policy holder is a legal person, that policy holder’s establishment to which the contract relates.

For the purposes of this template and in the case of proportional or non-proportional reinsurance, the ‘country in which the risk is situated’ means the country of localisation of the ceding undertaking.

Undertakings shall report on a country-by-country basis for at least 95% of gross written premium. All business shall be reported, however, any residual business over the 95% threshold may be grouped as “other countries”.

Insurance and reinsurance undertakings shall report written/earned premiums as defined in Article 1(11) and (12) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35 regardless whether local GAAP or IFRS is used.
