Permanent health insurance (PHI)Permanent health insurance (PHI)In return for regular premiums, PHI provides an income in the event of the policy holder contracting a long term illness or injury. There is no payment on death.Benefits are paid usually after a waiting period of several months or even a year known as the deferment period. During the deferment period the employer will often pay the employee's salary.The benefit payable will normally be no greater than 75% of earnings in the year preceding the disability and usually continue to retirement age. This is to encourage people to return to work in the event of partial or full recovery.If a claim becomes payable, the policy holder will receive payment free of tax during the year the disability occurs. This also applies for the subsequent tax year (6th April to 5th April). Permanent normal trading relationsPermanent normal trading relationsThe granting of permanent MFN status to a country that is not a member of the WTO. It is "normal" in the sense that most countries are WTO members and therefore have MFN status (or better) automatically. Permanent interest bearing sharesPermanent interest bearing sharesPibs are shares issued by building societies which pay a fixed rate of interest rather than a dividend. For the building societies concerned, they are a way of raising money without demutualising. As an investor, the rate of interest you receive will be the rate in effect at the time you bought your shares. Even though the rate on the PIB may change, your income will always be the same - the rate at the time you bought. It is important to note that the % rate applies to the original issue price of the PIB, not to the current share price. So if the interest rate is 10% when you buy and the original issue price is 100p, the annual interest will be 10p even if the current share price is 150p. Although Pibs are 'safe' in the sense that there is a quantifiable, regular and certain income, there is a risk of capital erosion if the share price falls below what you paid. On the plus side, if you sell your Pibs and make a capital gain, there is no CGT to pay. One of the disadvantages of Pibs is that minimum investment levels can be quite high (£20,000+) and liquidity is quite low. There aren't many building societies left to issue new Pibs, and trading in existing Pibs is quite low.

Because some level is always maintained, they are called permanent current assets. Further SuggestionsPermanent spontaneous current Liabilities |
