Any insurance company incorporated under laws of any jurisdiction other than New York State has to pay tax on fire insurance they write for New York City property. This tax is also known as the Foreign or Alien Insurers Tax or the Foreign Fire Tax.

You must use the NYC-FP form (Annual Report of Fire Premiums Tax Upon Foreign and Alien Insurers) to file this tax.
