EY 19B: Shareholder base income: consideration credited for investment management services
or “Life insurers' income from managing non-profit participation savings policies”
You could also call this:

“Allowable expenses for life insurers' non-participating policies”

You can deduct certain expenses from your shareholder base income for life insurance policies that are not profit participation policies. These deductions can include:

The life risk parts of premiums and claims, but not for annuities, unless they’re described in the other points below.

Fees and commissions you pay.

The life risk part of life reinsurance premiums.

Expenses related to investment income, as long as they’re not already deducted from your policyholder base income.

Premium payback amounts, but only if the original premium was included as shareholder base income and wasn’t part of a transitional amount calculation.

Any other expenses not covered elsewhere in this part of the law for that income year.

If you’ve already claimed a deduction under sections EY 23 to EY 27, you can’t claim it again under this section.
