SECTION 1. PURPOSE

This revenue procedure prescribes the salvage discount factors for 2007. 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 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 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.

2
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 2007. All the discount factors presented in this section were determined using the
applicable interest rate under § 846(c) for 2007, which is 3.97 percent, and by assuming all
estimated salvage is recovered in the middle of the calendar year
.02 Section V of Notice 88-100, 1988-2 C.B. 439, sets forth a composite method for
computing discounted unpaid losses for accident years that are not separately reported on the
annual statement. Rev. Proc. 2002-74, section 3.03, 2002-2 C.B. 980, provides that an insurance
company that elects to use the composite method of Notice 88-100 must use the same method to
compute discounted estimated salvage recoverable. Accordingly, the tables separately provide
discount factors for taxpayers who elect to use the composite method of section V of Notice 88-
100.
.02 These tables must be used by taxpayers irrespective of whether they elected to discount
unpaid losses using their own experience under § 846(e).
