1 min readBlockingBank of England taxonomy 2.2.0Updated 11 November 2026

Impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals and 3 other templates: values must agree (IR.22.01, IR.23.01, IR.28.01 and others, Bank of England rule IR_bv0589)

A blocking check on the impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals (IR.22.01), own funds (IR.23.01), minimum capital requirement - only life or only non-life activity (IR.28.01) and minimum capital requirement - both life and non-life activity (IR.28.02) templates, in the annual solo (ARS) return.

The rule in plain words

The item "Impact of transitional on technical provisions" reported in Impact of long term guarantees measures and transitionals (IR.22.01.01.01) should be equal to the difference between the value of "Without transitional on technical provisions" and the value of "Amount with LTG measures and transitionals"

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark IR.22.01 as reported.
