»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp FSA return comprises three varieties:

• a global return which reports on the entire worldwide business of the insurer
• a UK branch return which reports only the business carried on through a UK branch
• an EEA branches return which reports the entire business carried on in all establishments in EEA States (including the UK).

Particular rules apply to returns from a Swiss general reinsurer, a ‘pure reinsurer� or a UK or EEA deposit insurer. A pure reinsurer is restricted to carrying out contracts of reinsurance. UK and EEA ‘deposit insurers� are non-UK insurers which are required to make a deposit in the UK or EEA in accordance with the First Non-Life Directive. A Swiss general insurer reports as for an insurer with its head office in the EEA.

»Ê¹ÚÌåÓýapp following table summarises the type of return insurers are required to prepare under Rule 9.2 of the Accounts and Statements Rules in IPRU(INS).
