      Who does the surplus line tax filing?

      Last Updated 12/9/2024

      The responsibility for surplus line tax filing depends on the type of agent involved:

      • Retail agents: Cover Whale files the surplus lines tax.
      • Wholesalers: They are responsible for filing the surplus lines tax.

      This arrangement ensures that the surplus line tax filing process is streamlined and properly managed to minimize errors and maintain compliance.
