Zakat? It's only 2.5% (can be up to 20% depending on what school of thought you follow) and it's not distributed to everyone. There's only a subset of people who are eligible in receiving zakat so it's not UBI.

Although there can be a lot of things that can make someone require to pay zakat, like income, wealth, business assets, and others.
