Automobile rate manual
Under section 180 of the Automobile Insurance Act (CQLR, c. A-25) each authorized insurer must file a copy of its rate manual with the Autorité des marchés financiers. The AMF has determined that two annual filings of the Automobile Rate Manual are required by the following dates:
- April 1st – Rate Manual to be effective as of March 1st
- October 1st - Rate Manual to be effective as of September 1st
The rate manual is a manual that is made up of the documents of an authorized insurer in which his rules of underwriting of risks and the premiums applicable to each are identified and defined.
We invite you to consult the Notice of the Autorité des marchés financiers concerning the new procedure and format requirements concerning the electronic rate manual, which was published in the AMF Bulletin (in French only) dated November 28, 2019, vol. 16, No. 47.
