  • Nationwide Receives Favorable IRS Private Letter Ruling on Taxation of Advisory Fees from Non-Qualified Annuities

    August 13, 2019 by Nationwide Advisory Solutions

    LOUISVILLE, Ky.Aug. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Nationwide, one of the largest providers of insurance and financial services products in the U.S., today announced that it has received a favorable private letter ruling (PLR) from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to the tax treatment of advisory fees paid from non-qualified annuities. The new ruling concludes that the payment of an advisory fee from a variable, fixed indexed, or hybrid non-qualified annuity can be structured to not give rise to a taxable distribution. This is a new milestone for Nationwide in their commitment to serve advisors and their clients in whatever way they want to be served, including no-load annuities with fee-management and integration capabilities designed expressly to fit the way RIAs and fee-based advisors work.

    “Nationwide has been committed to achieving this favorable ruling on behalf of RIAs, fee-based advisors and their clients, and now can provide them with an important benefit that they have been seeking for years,” said Craig Hawley, Head of Nationwide Advisory Solutions. “While Nationwide Advisory Solutions has always been one of the only carriers with a technology platform that gives advisors an automated solution to be paid their fee directly from the annuity, this favorable ruling on the tax-treatment of advisory fees is another milestone in our mission to truly meet the unique needs of RIAs, fee-based advisors and the clients they serve.”

    This new IRS ruling essentially conforms the tax treatment of properly structured advisory fees from non-qualified annuities with those from qualified accounts such as 401(k)s, 403(b)s and IRAs, which typically are not treated as taxable distributions. By securing this new ruling, Nationwide helps cut costs and complexity and eliminates a key friction point, allowing RIAs and fee-based advisors to incorporate insurance and annuities into the holistic planning process, to help their clients prepare for and live in retirement.

    Among important guidelines cited in the ruling, the advisory fees for the non-qualified annuity cannot exceed 1.5% of its cash value. The ruling applies only to fee-based non-qualified annuities, where the advisor does not receive a commission related to the sale. The fee is paid with respect to the  investment advice received by the contract owner specifically related to the non-qualified annuity.

    Nationwide Advisory Solutions is the innovator of Nationwide Advisory Retirement Income Annuity (NARIA)℠, one of the industry’s first variable annuities (VAs) with an income guarantee designed expressly for RIAs and fee-based advisors including fee-management capabilities that will not erode the client’s benefit base.i Jefferson National, now doing business as Nationwide Advisory Solutions, is the innovator of Monument Advisor, the industry’s firstii Flat-FeeiiiInvestment Only Variable Annuity (IOVA).
