Commentary on Sections Structure of Chapters Overview Section 480: Exclusion of excepted group life policies
1911.This section is based on section 539(2) and (3) of ICTA. A group life policy is typically one taken out for members of trades unions, professional associations and partnerships, paying out successively on the death of any of the lives insured. But for the exclusion provided by this section, each such death would give rise to a chargeable event under section 484(1)(b).
