Summary/Abstract: A "private pension" funded by the employer, charged into tax deductible expenses, built on the grounds of unit-linked insurance plans (ULIPs), constituting a tax shield for the entrepreneur, additionally motivating employees and, at the same time, fulfilling the "idea of saving" is an alternative that might complement the current pension system. This kind of solution is possible under the current state of law and requires no additional acts, arrangements or other political declarations. The Insurance Distribution Act of 15 December 2017 (Journal of Laws of 29 December 2017, item 2486) and the Financial Supervision Authority's strict supervision of insurance companies which are particularly required to maintain their accounting records (Accounting Act - Journal of Laws 1994, No. 121, item 591), the statutes, rules and financial statements of the particular ULIPs point to the conclusion that life assurance schemes with ULIPs will be strictly supervised by the competent government agencies and will thus be "safe" for employers, employees and other customers.
