You could also call this:

“Lloyd's of London can't claim expenses on life insurance premium income”

If you’re Lloyd’s of London, you can’t deduct any expenses you have when you make money from life insurance premiums. This rule is strict and overrides the usual permission to make deductions. It applies even if you would normally be allowed to deduct these expenses. This rule is linked to the income you get from life insurance premiums, which is explained in another part of the law called [CR 3B].
