July 24, 1998 ADVANCE COPY OF INTERNAL REVENUE BULLETIN ITEM Attached is an advance copy of Revenue Ruling 98-38 describing reduction
in certain deductions of mutual life insurance companies. It will appear in Internal Revenue Bulletin 1998-32, dated August 10, 1998. You may release this rev. rul. immediately.
Part I Section 809. -- Reduction in Certain Deductions of Mutual Life Insurance Companies 26 CFR 1.809-9: Computation of the differential earnings rate and the recomputed differential earnings rate. Rev. Rul. 98-38 This revenue ruling contains the differential earnings rate for 1997 and the recomputed differential earnings rate for 1996. Under § 809 of the Internal Revenue Code, mutual life insurance companies use these rates in computing their Federal income tax liability for taxable years beginning in 1997. This revenue
ruling also contains the figures on which the determinations of these rates are based. Notice 98-19, 1998-13 I.R.B. 24,
contained tentative determinations of these rates. Section 809(a) provides that, in the case of any mutual life insurance company, the amount of the deduction allowable under § 808 for policyholder dividends is reduced (but not below zero) by the "differential earnings amount." Any excess of the
"differential earnings rate" for the taxable year is the excess
of (a) the "imputed earnings rate" for the taxable year over (b) the "average mutual earnings rate" for the second calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins. The "imputed earnings rate" for any taxable year is the amount that bears the same ratio to 16.5 percent as the "current stock earnings rate" for the taxable year bears to the "base period stock earnings rate." Section 809(f) provides that, in the case of any mutual life insurance company, if the "recomputed differential earnings amount" for any taxable year exceeds the differential earnings amount for that taxable year, the excess is included in life insurance gross income for the succeeding taxable year. If the
this purpose, the term "statement gain from operations" means "the net gain or loss from operations required to be set forth in
the annual statement, determined without regard to Federal income taxes, and ... properly adjusted for realized capital gains and losses...." See § 809(g)(1). The term "equity base" is defined
Income Tax Regulations provides that the equity base includes both the asset valuation reserve and the interest maintenance reserve for taxable years ending after December 31, 1991. Section 1.809-9(a) of the regulations provides that neither the differential earnings rate under § 809(c) nor the recomputed differential earnings rate that is used in computing the recomputed differential earnings amount under § 809(f)(3) may be less than zero. For purposes of § 809, the differential earnings rate for 1997 and the rate used to calculate the recomputed differential earnings amount for 1996 (the recomputed differential earnings rate for 1996), and the figures on which these two rates are based are set forth in Table 1. 
