The two largest U.S. captive insurer associations are banding together to combat a proposed change in Internal Revenue Service regulations they warn could drive many such facilities out of business.

The Captive Insurance Companies Association and the Vermont Captive Insurance Association have formed the Coalition for Fairness to Captive Insurers. Its mission is to develop a coordinated response to an IRS rule that would "significantly alter the landscape for captive insurers should it become final," the coalition said.

The organizations said in a statement that convincing the IRS to withdraw its proposal is "critical" to their "missions of promoting the strength of the captive insurance industry and the members that they serve."
