Taxable?
HTTPS://VATREGISTRATIONUAE.COM/VAT-INSURANCE-UAE-
TAXABLE/
VAT Treatment of Different Types of
Insurance in UAE
Value Added Tax’s (VAT) fundamental nature is that it’s not taxation imposed on businesses.
Instead, it’s a type of tax that’s collected by business entities operating in the UAE that is rather
imposed on end consumers by the local tax authorities.
General insurance
General insurance includes motor insurance, fire and theft, real estate insurance, and contents
insurance. Liability of charges will be as follows:
Zero rate – if the recipient of the general insurance is a resident outside any GCC implementing
state, is located outside of the UAE, and performance of insurance service isn’t received by
someone who is in the UAE that won’t be allowed in recovering incurred VAT.
Standard rate – if the recipient of the general insurance is a UAE resident
Life insurance
This category includes individual insurance, group insurance, life annuity, term, and investment-
linked policy. In all cases, the following liability of charges apply:
Exempt from VAT – if the recipient of life insurance is a UAE resident
Zero rate – if the recipient of life insurance is a resident that’s outside any GCC implementing
state, is located outside of the UAE, and performance of insurance service isn’t received by a
legal entity in UAE who wouldn’t be able to process VAT recovery for VAT incurred.
International transport
This includes insurance for the transportation of passengers and aviation or marine cargo. VAT treatment for such
will be zero-rated with respect to international transportation services with the exemption of travel insurance.
International transportation is defined as:
Transportation of products or passengers which starts from the UAE then ends outside of UAE
Transportation of products or passengers which starts outside UAE and ends in UAE
Transportation of passengers that are from a place in UAE onto another place in UAE either by land, air or sea
of international transport of passengers if final destination place or 1st place of departure is outside UAE
Transportation of goods that are from UAE to another place within UAE if services are supplied for the purpose
or part of international transportation of products either from UAE to any place outside UAE or from any place
outside UAE onto UAE.
Insurance with international transportation includes the act of arranging any form of insurance.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance will be liable for a VAT rate of:
Standard rate – if the recipient of the travel insurance is a UAE resident
Zero rate – if the recipient of life insurance is a resident that’s outside any GCC implementing
state, is located outside of the UAE, and performance of insurance service isn’t received by a
legal entity in UAE who wouldn’t be able to process VAT recovery for VAT incurred.
Other types of insurance
Medical insurance, accident insurance, public liability, and public indemnity insurance will have
the following VAT treatment in UAE:
Standard rate – if the recipient of the travel insurance is a UAE resident
Zero rate – if the recipient of life insurance is a resident that’s outside any GCC implementing
state, is located outside of the UAE, and performance of insurance service isn’t received by a
legal entity in UAE who wouldn’t be able to process VAT recovery for VAT incurred.
Take note: Reinsurance will have the same general principles mentioned above.
What are considered insurance products
and services in UAE?
The products and services that are provided to consumers by persons or businesses which involve any of the following are considered as
insurance:
A contract that provides the insured becoming entitled to something should a specific event occurs;
The event must be something that involves the element of uncertainty;
Insured by an insurance contract must have insurable interest with the contract’s subject matter
In practice, the insurer makes an offer to the potential party to be insured, which it either approves of or rejects. Contracting parties must
all be in agreement with the intention of an insurance contract. There must also be the intention in entering into a legal relationship
under which a party has the obligation in providing insurance. Lastly, there must be a benefit, right, or some payment offered by the party
that’s potentially issued to the insurance contract. Premium forms policyholder or insured’s consideration for the promise of insurer to
pay in accordance to terms of the insurance policy.
Risks that are covered by insurance contracts can be wide. They include loss of profits, life and endowment, general indemnity, motor
vehicles, fire accidents.
