Clean Incentives: How Tax Insurance is Emerging as a Critical Risk Mitigation Tool

In this episode of Clean Incentives, host Brendan Sigalet speaks with Jeremy Matthies, a tax insurance specialist at CAC Specialty, about how tax insurance is becoming a critical tool for clean energy project developers and investors in Canada. They explore how tax insurance helps mitigate risks associated with investment tax credits, including Canada Revenue Agency reassessments, compliance with labour requirements, partnership structures and tax shelter rules. Drawing on lessons from the US market, they break down how tax insurance can improve project bankability, reduce uncertainty and unlock capital for renewable energy, carbon capture, and other clean economy initiatives.
