Rev. Proc. 2013-37

SECTION 1. PURPOSE
This revenue procedure prescribes the salvage discount factors for the 2013 accident
year. These factors must be used to compute discounted estimated salvage recoverable under
§ 832 of the Internal Revenue Code.
SECTION 2. BACKGROUND
Section 832(b)(5)(A) requires that all estimated salvage recoverable (including that which
cannot be treated as an asset for state accounting purposes) be taken into account in computing
the deduction for losses incurred. Under § 832(b)(5)(A), paid losses are reduced by salvage and
reinsurance recovered during the taxable year. This amount is adjusted to reflect changes in
discounted unpaid losses on nonlife insurance contracts and in unpaid losses on life insurance

2
contracts. An adjustment is then made to reflect any changes in discounted estimated salvage
recoverable and in reinsurance recoverable.
Pursuant to § 832(b), the amount of estimated salvage is determined on a discounted
basis in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary.
SECTION 3. SCOPE
This revenue procedure applies to any taxpayer that is required to discount estimated
salvage recoverable under § 832.
SECTION 4. TABLES OF DISCOUNT FACTORS
.01 The following tables present separately for each line of business the discount factors
under § 832 for the 2013 accident year. All the discount factors presented in this section were
determined using the applicable interest rate under § 846(c) for 2013, which is 2.16 percent, and
by assuming all estimated salvage is recovered in the middle of the calendar year.
.02 These tables must be used by taxpayers irrespective of whether they elected to
discount unpaid losses using their own experience under § 846(e).
.03 Section V of Notice 88-100, 1988-2 C.B. 439, provides a composite discount factor to
be used in determining the discounted unpaid losses for accident years that are not separately
reported on the annual statement approved by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners. The tables separately provide discount factors for taxpayers who elect to use
the composite method. Rev. Proc. 2002-74, 2002-2 C.B. 980, clarifies that for certain insurance
companies subject to tax under § 831 the composite method for discounting unpaid losses set
forth in Notice 88-100, section V, is permitted but not required. Rev. Proc. 2002-74 further
provides alternative methods for computing discounted unpaid losses that are permitted for

3
insurance companies not using the composite method, and sets forth a procedure for insurance
companies to obtain automatic consent of the Commissioner to change to one of the methods
described therein.
