CQ 7: Treatment of attributing interests subject to returning share transfer
or “Former rule about shares on loan no longer applies”
You could also call this:

“Income from insurance policies that life insurers must include in their taxes”

If you are a life insurer, you might have something called policyholder base income in a given year. Even if this income isn’t usually counted as income under other parts of the law, it will still be treated as income for you in that year. This means you need to include it when you’re figuring out your total income for tax purposes.
