Ruin probability in the presence of interest earnings and tax payments

In this paper we investigate the ruin probability in a general risk model driven by a compound Poisson process. We derive a formula for the ruin probability from which the Albrecher-Hipp tax identity follows as a corollary. Then we study, as an important special case, the classical risk model with a constant force of interest and loss-carried-forward tax payments. For this case we derive an exact formula for the ruin probability when the claims are exponential and an explicit asymptotic formula when the claims are subexponential.
