Also called Insurance Premium Tax

Businesses authorized to underwrite Utah insurance policies on properties or risks pay this instead of income taxes. The tax is based on the gross receipts of premiums the insurance provider charges. Tax rates depend on the type of policy. Quarterly estimated prepayments are required if the prior year’s tax was $10,000 or more.
