Effective January 1, 2017: The government has introduced new tax legislation that’s designed to modernize life insurance exempt testing. The legislation, which reflects the fact that people are living longer and that their insurance policies will pay out later, received royal assent on December 16, 2014 and comes into effect as of January 1, 2017.
