  • Highly customised coverage can address
  • • Expenses that might be incurred by the insured in engaging outside legal advisers and/or accountants in order to resolve the dispute with a relevant tax authority;
  • • Interest and insurable fines or penalties as well as additional tax payable if the dispute is lost; and
