Under the UAE VAT regime, the insurance and related services are subject to the standard VAT rate at 5%. Also, the VAT incurred on costs that can be wholly attributed to the standard-rated supply can be recovered in full. Yet, there are exempted supplies and zero-rated supplies within the insurance services that the businesses need to be aware of. For example, life insurance and life reinsurance are treated as exempt supplies under VAT in UAE.
