American Southern definition

American Southern means American Southern Insurance Company, an insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Kansas.
American Southern has a lawsuit (Civil Action No. 95-2588) pending with the Department in Florida (the "Florida Premium Tax Litigation"). The issue revolves around the appropriate retaliatory premium tax to be paid by American Southern to Florida. The Department is alleging that the Georgia tax rate is 2.25% and the local premium tax rate is 2.5% for a total rate of 4.75%. The Florida tax rate is 2%. The Department is effectively saying that the retaliatory rate should be 2.75%. American Southern's major argument is that in Georgia there is an investment offset available to all companies that can reduce the effective Georgia rate from 2.25% to .5% and American Southern has always qualified for this reduction. With a Georgia rate of .5% and a local premium tax of 2.5%, the total Georgia tax is 3% compared to Florida's 2% for a retaliatory rate of 1%. The amount of tax in dispute is approximately $839,999 for the years 1985 through 1990. Penalties and interest with respect to the disputed tax amount are approximately $748,000 and $86,700, respectively. If the suit is lost, Borrower intends to seek indemnification from InterRedec, the owner of American Southern during the period from 1985 to 1990. In 1993, this suit was tried and American Southern won. In 1994, the Florida legislature passed a law which was intended to retroactively change the way the retaliatory tax was calculated. The Department then asked the trial judge to rehear the case in light of the new Florida law. The case was heard in November 1994 and in July 1995 the judge ruled for the Department. The case is now under appeal.
