Applicable Acts/Enabling Legislation
The most recent significant change to MT captive law is the adoption of dormant captive status. Allows for a captive insurance company, that is not a RRG, that meets the necessary standards to apply for a dormant captive insurance company certificate. This certificate of dormancy is only valid for a 5 year period and the dormant captive insurance company is responsible to maintain no less than $25,000 in capital & surplus and a $1,000 per year dormancy tax.
