Paid up additions is a method of receiving your dividends from a mutual insurance company. Paid up additions is actually a very good method as it allows a policyholder to use their dividends to purchase paid up additional insurance in the policy thereby increasing coverage and increasing annual dividends because dividends are also paid on the additional insurance. You do not have to pay taxes on the dividends paid in this manner either.
