A major takeaway from the third quarter is that resilience creates opportunity. The global economy weathered headwinds and opened the door to renewed growth. That momentum translated into a record quarter for tax insurance, with global tax submissions for the year up nearly 23% and bound policies up over 30% YoY. Euclid believes this surge reflects not only heightened transactional activity but also a growing recognition of tax insurance as a strategic tool for unlocking capital and accelerating growth.
3Q25 Highlights by the Numbers
- 492 global tax submissions – 183 North America, 225 EMEA, 84 APAC – contributing to ~23% YoY growth (1,365 vs. 1,111).
- Regional submission trends – While North America and EMEA were slightly down in submissions vs. 3Q24, APAC surged, up 800% from 3Q24.
- 60 bound policies globally – setting a Q3 record, made up of 32 North America, 21 EMEA, 7 APAC. Bound policies are up over 30% YoY with North America up ~11% YoY, EMEA up ~6% YoY, and APAC up ~900% YoY.
These results underscore the critical role of tax insurance in mitigating uncertainty and enabling transactions in an increasingly complex global market.
