UPS and Overseas Partners celebrate tax court decision

A US appeals court has overturned a 1999 decision that a reinsurance program operated by UPS and Bermuda-based Overseas Partners Ltd. amounted to tax evasion.The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals said the reinsurance program, which covered extra package insurance for UPS clients, was not a “sham transaction”, as determined by the IRS and Tax Court.
