You said
A summary of responses can be found in the document below.
Respondents broadly supported recovering the Register’s costs over time, but raised concerns about the proposed fee levels, particularly the annual fee and the cumulative cost of registering several assets.
Feedback also highlighted the importance of transparency on costs, clear review arrangements and support for early adoption.
We did
The Department has reviewed all responses received.
The feedback is being considered alongside the costs of establishing and operating the Register to inform the final fee approach and supporting regulations.
No final decision has been taken on fee levels, which remain subject to the required approvals.
If there is anything else you require please let me know.

We asked
Consultation CP 26/01 sought views on the proposed Insurance (Class 12 and 13 Valuation and Solvency) Regulations 2026, Insurance (Valuation, Solvency and Miscellaneous) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 and Insurance (Corporate Governance) (Amendment) Guidance Notes 2026.
It specifically asked for feedback on proposed regulatory valuation and solvency requirements in respect of class 12 (captive insurers) and class 13 (insurance special purpose vehicles).
You said
A summary of responses can be found in the document below.
Respondents were broadly supportive of the proposed frameworks but, in respect of captive insurers, highlighted some suggestions and points for further discussion.
Following the closing date of the consultation, the UK issued its consultation CP11/26 – A tailored regime for captive insurance. The Authority was requested by the Isle of Man Captive Association (IOMCA) to review the proposals for captive insurers in terms of proportionality and competitiveness with the UK’s proposals.
We did
The Authority has commenced that review (which is ongoing) in collaboration with IOMCA, whose members manage all captive insurers impacted by the proposals, including smaller insurers.
Any changes will be communicated to all affected parties (all captive insurers) in due course following that review process.
After finalisation of the proposals, the Authority envisages bringing the revised Insurance (Class 12 and 13 Valuation and Solvency) Regulations 2026, Insurance (Valuation, Solvency and Miscellaneous) (Amendment) Regulations 2026 and Insurance (Corporate Governance) (Amendment) Guidance Notes 2026 into operation at the earliest opportunity.
