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.

For example, life insurance and life reinsurance are treated as exempt supplies under VAT in UAE.
