Identification of U.S. Reporter – Continued
7 	 Using the summary of NAICS classifications on the next page, as well as the example below, enter the 4-digit code that best
describes the primary sales activity of the consolidated domestic U.S. Reporter. After entering your response, continue to page 5.
Consolidated domestic U.S. Reporter means the fully consolidated domestic U.S. enterprise consisting of (i) the U.S. corporation whose
voting securities are not owned more than 50 percent by another U.S. corporation, and, proceeding down each ownership chain from that
U.S. corporation, (ii) any U.S. corporation whose voting securities are more than 50 percent owned by the U.S. corporation above it. The fully
consolidated domestic U.S. enterprise excludes foreign branches and other foreign affiliates.

__ __ __ __

EXAMPLE FOR DETERMINING PRIMARY SALES ACTIVITY (NAICS CODE)
Report the NAICS code that best describes the primary sales activity of the consolidated domestic U.S. Reporter. For example, if 60 percent
of the consolidated domestic U.S. Reporter’s sales are generated by Affiliate A, an insurance carrier, except direct life insurance carriers
(NAICS 5243), and 40 percent of the consolidated domestic U.S. Reporter’s sales are generated by Affiliate B, a direct insurance carrier
(NAICS 5249), then you should report your NAICS as 5243.

Consolidated domestic
U.S. Reporter
($50 Million Total Sales)

U.S. Affiliate A
NAICS 5243
($30 Million Total Sales)

Use NAICS 5243 because U.S. Affiliate
A’s sales are greater than U.S. Affiliate
B’s.

U.S. Affiliate B
NAICS 5249
($20 Million Total Sales)

Understanding Reporting Relationships
(For use on  Schedules A  and  B )
Transactions accrued during the reporting period should be reported by the country of the foreign transactor, and by the foreign transactor’s relationship
to the U.S. Reporter . The relationship between the U.S. Reporter and the foreign transactor falls into one of three categories:
Foreign Affiliates – A foreign affiliate is defined as an entity domiciled in a foreign country that is owned at least 10 percent (based on voting
interest), directly or indirectly, by the U.S. Reporter.
Foreign Parent Group – A Foreign Parent Group means all of the following:
(i)	 the foreign parent, which is the first entity outside the United States in a foreign chain of ownership, that owns at least 10 percent (based on voting
interest), directly or indirectly, of the consolidated domestic U.S. business enterprise.
(ii)	 any foreign entity proceeding up the foreign parent’s ownership chain, that owns more than 50 percent of the entity below it up to and including the
entity that is not owned more than 50 percent by another foreign entity,
(iii)	any foreign entity, proceeding down the ownership chain(s) of each of these members, that is owned more than 50 percent by the entity above it.
Unaffiliated Foreign Persons – An unaffiliated foreign person is an entity domiciled abroad that is not owned, or is owned less than 10 percent,
directly or indirectly, by the U.S. Reporter or the U.S. Reporter’s foreign parent.

NOTE – Do not report reserve transfers or recaptures of reserves.
Quarterly premiums and losses should be calculated as follows:
For property and casualty insurance companies
Calculate transaction codes 1 and 2 as follows: Premiums written (transaction code 1) or ceded (transaction code 2) during the quarter, plus unearned
premiums at the beginning of the quarter, minus unearned premiums at the end of the quarter. Report premiums net of cancellations. Report premiums
gross of commissions and profit commissions paid to or received from foreign persons, including commissions initially paid to or received from a U.S.
intermediary (agent or broker) of a foreign person.
Calculate transaction codes 3 and 4 as follows: Losses paid (transaction code 3) or recovered (transaction code 4) during the quarter, plus case reserves
at the end of the quarter, plus losses incurred but not reported at the end of the quarter, minus case reserves at the beginning of the quarter, minus
losses incurred but not reported at the beginning of the quarter. Losses paid or recovered should not include loss adjustment expenses (reportable on
Schedule B ).
For life insurance companies
Premiums received (transaction code 1) and paid (transaction code 2) reflect premiums accrued on reinsurance assumed from or ceded to insurance
companies resident abroad. These amounts, therefore, are adjusted for changes in due, deferred, and advanced premiums for each quarter. Report
premiums gross of commissions and profit commissions paid to or received from foreign persons, including commissions initially paid to or received from a
U.S. intermediary (agent or broker) of a foreign person.
Losses paid (transaction code 3) and recovered (transaction code 4) reflect policy claims on reinsurance assumed or ceded, adjusted for changes in
claims due, unpaid, and in the course of settlement.

domestic operations and other U.S. persons, or transactions between other U.S. persons and the U.S. Reporter’s foreign affiliates.
How to Report:

Quarterly transactions should be calculated as follows:
For property and casualty insurance companies (Columns 3 and 4)
Report premiums (transaction code 5) as follows: Premiums written during the current quarter, plus unearned premiums at the beginning of the current
quarter, minus unearned premiums at the end of the current quarter. Report premiums net of cancellations. Report premiums gross of commissions and
profit commissions paid to or received from foreign persons, including commissions initially paid to or received from a U.S. intermediary (agent or broker)
of a foreign person.
Report losses incurred (transaction code 6) as follows: Losses paid during the quarter, plus case reserves at the end of the current quarter, plus losses
incurred but not reported at the end of the current quarter, minus case reserves at the beginning of the current quarter, minus losses incurred but not
reported at the beginning of the current quarter. Losses paid or recovered should not include loss adjustment expenses (reportable under transaction
codes 7 and 8).
For life insurance companies (Columns 3 and 4)
Report premiums earned (transaction code 5) as follows: These amounts should be adjusted for changes in due, deferred, and advanced premiums for
the current year. Report premiums gross of commissions and profit commissions paid to foreign persons, including commissions initially paid to a U.S.
intermediary (agent or broker) of a foreign person.
Calculate transaction code 6 as follows: Losses paid reflect policy claims on reinsurance assumed or ceded, adjusted for changes in claims due, unpaid,
and in the course of settlement.
Auxiliary insurance services (Columns 5 and 6)
Include agent’s commissions, insurance brokering and agency services, insurance consulting services, evaluation, allocated loss adjustment expenses, and
other adjustment services, actuarial services, salvage administration services, and regulatory and monitoring services on indemnities and recovery services.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Public reporting burden for this BE-45 report is estimated to average 9
hours per response. This burden includes time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed,
and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments
regarding this burden estimate to Director, Bureau of Economic Analysis
(BE-1), 4600 Silver Hill Rd., Washington, DC 20233; and to the Office
of Management and Budget, Paperwork Reduction Project 0608-0066,
Washington, DC 20503.
Purpose — Reports on this form are required to obtain reliable and up-to-date
information on transactions between U.S. insurance companies and foreign
persons. The data will be used in compiling the U.S. international transactions
accounts and the national income and product accounts. The information will
also be used to formulate U.S. policy and to analyze the impact of that policy,
and the policies of foreign countries, on such international transactions.
Authority — This survey is being conducted under the authority of the
International Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act (P.L. 94-472, 90
Stat. 2059, 22 U.S.C. 3101-3108, as amended – hereinafter “the Act”), and
the filing of reports is mandatory under section 5(b)(2) of the Act (22 U.S.C.
3104). Regulations for the survey may be found in 15 CFR Part 801. The
survey has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq).
Penalties — Persons who fail to report may be subject to a civil penalty and
to injunctive relief commanding such person to comply, or both. These civil
penalties are subject to inflationary adjustments. Those adjustments are
found in 15 CFR 6.4. Whoever willfully fails to report shall be fined, and, if
an individual, may be imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. Any
officer, director, employee, or agent of any entity who knowingly participates
in such violations, upon conviction, may be punished by a like fine,
imprisonment, or both. (See 22 U.S.C. 3105.) Notwithstanding the above, a
U.S. person is not subject to any penalty for failure to report if a valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) control number is not displayed on the
form. The control number for Form BE-45 (0608-0066) is displayed at the
top of the first page of this form.
Confidentiality — The Act provides that your report to this Bureau is
confidential and may be used only for analytical and statistical purposes.
Without your prior written permission, the information filed in your report
cannot be presented in a manner that allows it to be individually identified.
Your report cannot be used for purposes of taxation, investigation, or
regulation. Copies retained in your files are immune from legal process. Per
the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2015, your data are protected from
Cybersecurity risks through security monitoring of BEA information systems.
I. WHO IS TO REPORT AND GENERAL COVERAGE
A. 	 Who must report — A response is required from each U.S. insurance
company that was notified by BEA about the survey.
1. 	 Mandatory reporting, voluntary reporting, and exemptions
a. Mandatory reporting
	 A complete BE-45 report is required from each U.S. insurance
company that engaged in reinsurance transactions with foreign
persons, that earned premiums from, or incurred losses to, foreign
persons in the capacity of primary insurers, or that engaged in
international sale or purchase transactions in services auxiliary
to insurance. Filing is mandatory if the U.S. Reporter’s combined
reportable transactions exceeded $8 million (based on absolute value)
in the previous calendar year or are expected to exceed that amount
during the current calendar year, on an accrual basis: (1) premiums
earned, and (2) losses, on reinsurance assumed; (3) premiums
incurred, and (4) losses, on reinsurance ceded; (5) premiums earned,
and (6) losses, on primary insurance sold; (7) sales of, and (8)
purchases of, auxiliary insurance services.
b. Voluntary reporting
	

If, in the previous year, combined reportable transactions were $8
million or less (based on absolute value), on an accrual basis, and are

Page 17	

expected to be less than that amount in the current year, then the U.S.
insurance company may report transactions at a country and affiliation
level of detail on the applicable mandatory schedule(s). Provision of
this additional detail is voluntary. The estimates may be judgmental,
that is, based on recall, without conducting a detailed records search.
c. 	 Exemption
	

A U.S. insurance company receiving this form from BEA is not
required to report data if transactions fall below the threshold
described in Part I.A.1.a. However, it must complete and return the
survey through page 6.

B. 	 Consolidation — A U.S. enterprise should file a single Form BE-45
covering combined (total) insurance services transactions of all its
domestic subsidiaries, and parts, that are insurance services providers.
1. 	 Consolidating unincorporated enterprises
Consolidate into your BE-45 report the transactions of unincorporated
enterprises in which your company has voting control. Please see
the following items on determining the voting interest in typical
unincorporated enterprises.
Partnerships – Most partnerships are either general partnerships or 	
limited partnerships. Consolidation of partnerships and inclusion of 	
their insurance services transactions (purchases and sales) on the 	
BE-45 survey is based on voting control.
a.	 General partnerships
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the
percentage of voting interest of a general partner is based on who
controls the partnership. The percentage of voting interest is not
based on the percentage of ownership in the partnership’s equity.
The general partners are presumed to control a general partnership.
Unless a clause to the contrary is contained in the partnership
agreement, a general partnership is presumed to be controlled
equally by each of the general partners.
Managing partners – If one general partner is designated as the
managing partner, responsible for the day-to-day operations of
the partnership, this does not necessarily transfer control of the
partnership to the managing partner. If the managing partner must
obtain approval for annual operating budgets and for decisions
relating to significant management issues from the other general
partners, then the managing partner does not have a 100 percent
voting interest in the partnership.
b.	 Limited partnerships
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the
percentage of voting interest in a limited partnership is based on
who controls the partnership. The percentage of voting interest is not
based on the percentage of ownership in the partnership’s equity.
In most cases, the general partner is presumed to control a limited
partnership, and therefore, have a 100 percent voting interest in
the limited partnership. If there is more than one general partner,
the partnership is presumed to be controlled equally by each of the
general partners, unless a clause to the contrary is contained in the
partnership agreement. Therefore, unless a clause to the contrary
is contained in the partnership agreement, limited partners are
presumed to have zero voting interest in a limited partnership.
Managing partners – See discussion under “General Partnerships”
above.
c.	 Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Determination of voting interest – The determination of the percentage
of voting interest in an LLC is based on who controls the LLC. The
percentage of voting interest is not based on the percentage of
ownership in the LLC’s equity. LLCs are presumed to be controlled
equally by each of its members (owners), unless a clause to the
contrary is contained in the articles of organization or in the operating
agreement.
Managing member – If one member is designated as the managing
member responsible for the day-to-day operations of the LLC, this does
not necessarily transfer control of the LLC to the managing member.
If the managing member must obtain approval for annual operating

FORM BE-45 (REV. 02/2024)

	

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS — Continued
budgets and for decisions relating to other significant management issues
from the other members, then the managing member does not have a
100 percent voting interest in the LLC.
C.	 Transactions involving a broker — At times, insurance transactions
between a U.S. person and a foreign person may be arranged by, billed
through, or otherwise facilitated by, a broker, agent, or intermediary. In
order to avoid duplication, the data should be reported by the insurance
company assuming the risk or recovering or paying the loss. Brokers,
agents, and intermediaries are generally not to report.
II. WHAT TO REPORT
A. 	Report transactions with affiliated foreign persons as well as with
unaffiliated foreign persons (Part V. for more information on reporting
relationships). File separate schedules to report transactions with
(1) your foreign affiliates, (2) your foreign parent group, and (3)
unaffiliated foreign persons.
B. 	Report transactions with alien insurance groups, whether or not funds
remitted to and from these organizations are cleared through their
American trust funds.
C. 	Note that the criterion for reporting is whether the transaction is between
a U.S. person and a foreign person. It is immaterial whether the assets
insured are located in the United States or abroad.
D. 	Report transactions with U.S. affiliates of foreign firms for the account of
their foreign parent firm. (Report them on the schedule covering your
transactions with unaffiliated foreign persons.)
E. 	 Report transactions with foreign persons made by your foreign affiliate for
your account. (Report them on the schedule covering your transactions
with unaffiliated foreign persons.)
III. WHAT NOT TO REPORT
A. 	 Finite insurance and finite reinsurance — Finite insurance and
reinsurance contracts transfer a limited amount of insurance risk from
the policyholder to the insurer with the policyholder retaining a significant
portion of that risk. Contract terms and features that can limit the transfer
of insurance risk include the following: (1) Contract terms that result
in the premium paid by the policyholder plus anticipated investment
income earned by the insurer on that premium approximately equaling
the reimbursements (including claim recoveries and any contract
adjustments) expected by the policyholder from the insurer, (2) Adjustable
features that result in profit-and-loss sharing arrangements between the
policyholder and the insurer, (3) A contract coverage period that extends
beyond one year and premiums for subsequent periods that may depend
on the loss experience of earlier years, (4) Limits on the amount of claims
to be paid by the insurer, (5) Loss corridors that limit or eliminate the risk
of loss for a specified percentage or dollar amount of claims within the
range of contract coverage, (6) Favorable contract termination provisions,
for example, that would result in a loss to the policyholder, (7) Premiums
that are a substantial percentage of the maximum coverage provided.
Types of finite insurance include, but are not limited to, loss portfolio
transfers, adverse development coverages, and spread loss coverages.
There may be other types of finite reinsurance that are not explicitly listed
but are substantially identical in function and should not be reported on
the survey as well.
B. 	Do not report reserve transfers or recaptures of reserves on the inception
or termination of reinsurance contracts. Such amounts do not represent
the provision of a service, and should be excluded from reporting on the
BE-45 survey. Only include current premiums on transferred amounts.
C. 	Do not report transactions with U.S. affiliates of foreign firms for their
own account. Transactions with these U.S. affiliates are considered
domestic-to-domestic for purposes of this survey.
D. 	Do not report transactions with foreigners made by your foreign affiliates
for their own account.
E. 	 Do not report premiums to, or losses from, foreign insurance companies

FORM BE-45 (REV. 02/2024)	

on primary or direct insurance. Premiums on such insurance purchased
from foreign insurance companies are to be reported on Form BE-120,
Benchmark Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual
Property with Foreign Persons, and Form BE-125, Quarterly Survey of
Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual Property with Foreign
Persons.

B. Understanding the U.S. insurance company’s relationship with foreign
persons
The relationship between the U.S. Reporter and the foreign persons fall
into one of three categories:
Foreign affiliates – A foreign affiliate is defined as an entity domiciled in
a foreign country that is owned at least 10 percent, directly or indirectly, by
the U.S. Reporter.
Foreign parent group means all of the following:
(i)	 the foreign parent, which is the first entity outside the United States in
a foreign chain of ownership, that owns at least 10 percent (based on
voting interest), directly or indirectly, of the consolidated domestic U.S.
business enterprise.
(ii)	 any foreign entity proceeding up the foreign parent’s ownership
chain, that owns more than 50 percent of the entity below it up to and
including the entity that is not owned more than 50 percent by another
foreign entity,
(iii)	any foreign entity that, proceeding down the ownership chain(s) of each of
these members, is owned more than 50 percent by the entity above it.
Unaffiliated foreign persons – An unaffiliated foreign person is an entity
domiciled abroad that is not owned, or is owned less than ten percent,
directly or indirectly, by the U.S. Reporter or the U.S. Reporter’s foreign
parent.
The diagram in the next column illustrates each of these relationships with
regards to the U.S. Reporter.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS — Continued
For life insurance companies
Premiums received (transaction code 1) and paid (transaction code 2) reflect
premiums accrued on reinsurance assumed from or ceded to insurance
companies resident abroad. These amounts, therefore, are adjusted for

premiums gross of commissions and profit commissions paid to or received
from foreign persons, including commissions initially paid to or received from
a U.S. intermediary (agent or broker) of a foreign person.
Losses paid (transaction code 3) and recovered (transaction code 4) reflect
policy claims on reinsurance assumed or ceded, adjusted for changes in
claims due, unpaid, and in the course of settlement.

E. 	 Rounding — Report currency amounts in U.S. dollars rounded to
thousands (omitting 000). For example, if the amount is $1,334,515.00,
