Can My Company Pay For My Life Insurance? 
The answer here is yes , they can pay for your life insurance . The thing to keep in mind is that Uncle Sam is watching . This is a question of taxation , not payment . Then , it really depends on how that arrangement is set up . Someone is going to pay the tax on your compensation , whether it 's premiums or benefits . There are different ways this happens depending on whether you 're an owner or not and what the purpose of the insurance is . If this is insurance that 's included with your benefits and it 's offered to everyone the same way , it 's treated differently than if it 's an executive benefit only offered to high level employees or owners . There are certain amounts that employers are can offer their employees with no tax consequences to you . It depends on your individual classification . If this is an executive benefit and the premiums are not taxed , there 's a possibility the death benefit could be taxable . As much as I 'd like to give an all encompassing answer , I ca n't . This is more a specific question for the company or your CPA . Ask the question . It 's much better to find out before something unintended happens .
