SECTION 1. PURPOSE

This revenue procedure prescribes the salvage discount factors for the 2006 accident
year. These factors must be used to compute discounted estimated salvage recoverable under
' 832 of the Internal Revenue Code.
SEC. 2. BACKGROUND
Section 832(b)(5)(A) requires that all estimated salvage recoverable (including that which
cannot be treated as an asset for state accounting purposes) be taken into account in computing
the deduction for losses incurred. Under ' 832(b)(5)(A), paid losses are to be reduced by
salvage and reinsurance recovered during the taxable year. This amount is adjusted to reflect
changes in discounted unpaid losses on nonlife insurance contracts and in unpaid losses on life

2
insurance contracts. An adjustment is then made to reflect any changes in discounted estimated
salvage recoverable and in reinsurance recoverable.
Pursuant to ' 832(b), the amount of estimated salvage is determined on a discounted
basis in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary.
SEC. 3. SCOPE
This revenue procedure applies to any taxpayer that is required to discount estimated
salvage recoverable under ' 832.
SEC. 4. APPLICATION
.01 The following tables present separately for each line of business the discount factors
under ' 832 for the 2006 accident year. All the discount factors presented in this section were
determined using the applicable interest rate under ' 846(c) for 2006, which is 3.98 percent, and
by assuming all estimated salvage is recovered in the middle of each calendar year. See
Rev.
Proc. 2003-18, 2003-1 C.B. 439, for background regarding the tables.
.02 These tables must be used by taxpayers irrespective of whether they elected to
discount unpaid losses using their own historical experience under ' 846.
.03 Section V of Notice 88-100, 1988-2 C.B. 439, provides a composite discount factor
to be used in determining the discounted unpaid losses for accident years that are not separately
reported on the NAIC Annual Statement. The tables separately provide discount factors for
taxpayers who elect to use the composite method. Rev. Proc. 2002-74, 2002-2 C.B. 980,
clarifies that for certain insurance companies subject to tax under § 831 the composite method
for discounting unpaid losses set forth in Notice 88-100, section V, 1988-2 C.B. 419, is permitted
but not required. This revenue procedure further provides alternative methods for computing
discounted unpaid losses that are permitted for insurance companies not using the composite

3
method, and sets forth a procedure for insurance companies to obtain automatic consent of the
Commissioner to change to one of the methods described in Rev. Proc. 2002-74.
