Core Viewpoint - The implementation of the "reporting and issuing together" policy for non-auto insurance continues to advance, with the National Financial Regulatory Administration providing detailed answers to various issues arising during the process, aiming to clarify policy implications and unify industry standards [1][2].

Group 2: Business Scenarios and Requirements - Certain businesses, such as those involving public interest funded by government finances, may not strictly adhere to "reporting and issuing together" [8][10]. - From July 1, 2026, high-frequency, fragmented, and scenario-based internet insurance products like return freight insurance should achieve real-time settlement or periodic settlement within two natural days after issuance [9]. - Policies issued after March 1, 2026, should generally be issued after premium collection and invoicing, with allowances for companies facing difficulties in changing payment methods [12][17]. Group 3: Specific Business Types - For foreign currency or offshore RMB businesses, insurance companies can use bank transfer or other verifiable payment proofs to issue policies [5]. - In the case of RMB business, a bank acceptance bill can be considered as "reporting and issuing together" [6]. - For co-insurance, the main underwriting company can issue policies and invoices after collecting premiums, which will be regarded as "reporting and issuing together" [7].

Core Insights - The report discusses the dual nature of the OCI (Other Comprehensive Income) option in the context of the tax adjustments for insurance companies transitioning to new accounting standards, indicating that the impact on cash flow from tax retroactivity is limited [3][4][6]. Summary by Sections Tax Adjustment Overview - The Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued a notice regarding the tax treatment for the transition to new insurance contract standards, effective from 2026, allowing companies to smooth out tax differences over five years [3][6]. - The overall impact of this tax adjustment on listed insurance companies is deemed limited, as most have already implemented the new standards since early 2023 [3][4]. Profitability and Tax Rates - Listed insurance companies have seen record high profits, with pre-tax profits in the first three quarters of 2025 exceeding the total for 2024, while actual tax rates have remained low, indicating a disconnect between tax obligations and operational performance [4][5]. - The average effective tax rates from 2020 to Q3 2025 were 10%, 8%, -1%, -6%, 12%, and 17%, with some companies reporting negative tax rates in certain years [4]. Impact of New Accounting Standards - The core difference in profits under the old and new accounting standards is attributed to the 750 curve, which has declined, affecting net profit levels, particularly for life insurance companies [5]. - The new standards provide an OCI option that mitigates the impact of interest rate declines on net profit, but it also removes the tax shield previously available under the old standards [5]. Cash Flow Implications - The tax adjustments are expected to have a minimal impact on operating cash flows, with the average effect on listed insurance companies estimated at 2.27%, while companies like Xinhua and China Life may experience a more significant impact of around 14% [6]. - The choice of how to account for retained earnings from the new standards will influence the actual cash flow effects, with options to either include them in the taxable income for 2026 or spread them over five years [6]. Investment Recommendations - The report suggests monitoring major listed insurance companies such as China Life, Ping An, China Pacific Insurance, Xinhua Insurance, and China Property & Casualty Insurance for potential investment opportunities [7].
