Only if you have had it long enuf to develop some cash values less cancellation penalties. If you were misquoted on the premium or decide not to take the policy when it has been produced, you should get everything back. If they deny a claim in some situations you can get everything back no matter how long you have had it

How does an insurance company benefit from insurance?

When an insured purchases an insurance policy they pay the insurance company money for the insurance coverage. This money the insurance company collects is called insurance "premiums".

The insurance also makes alot of its money by taking the money earned from premiums and then investing it. As we all know that Life insurance policy cash values are accessed through withdrawals and policy loans. However, withdrawals are taxable to the extent they exceed basis in the policy. Loans outstanding at policy lapse or surrender before the insured's death will cause immediate taxation to the extent of gain in the policy and hence benefits the company.
