Financial protection for your family, with money back.

In most cases, no. Since you’re simply getting back money you already paid (not a gain), the refund is generally tax-free. However, tax laws vary by country, so it’s worth confirming with a tax advisor.

You typically forfeit the return benefit if you cancel before the policy term ends. Some plans offer a partial refund on a prorated basis, but most require you to complete the full term to receive the full refund.

ROP plans can cost anywhere from 30% to 100% more than a comparable standard plan, depending on the insurer, your age, health, and the term length.
