Transfer Pricing in the UAE

Transfer pricing is a key international issue for businesses, especially in cross-border transactions between related entities. These entities include not only those within the same corporate group but also those linked through direct or indirect control, such as control over the board of directors.

The main focus of transfer pricing is determining the prices for transactions between related companies. These prices must follow the arm’s length principle, ensuring they match the prices that would be charged in similar transactions between independent third parties under comparable conditions (market value).

Most Businesses in the UAE face challenges such as:

Compliance with Local Regulations

Ensuring adherence to the specific transfer pricing regulations of each country, which may differ significantly, is complex and time-consuming.
Documentation Requirements

Maintaining detailed and accurate documentation to support transfer pricing practices can be burdensome. This is critical to avoid penalties and disputes with tax authorities.
Benchmarking and Comparability Analysis

Finding comparable transactions or companies for benchmarking purposes can be difficult, especially in industries with unique products or services.
Global Consistency

Multinational companies often struggle to maintain consistent transfer pricing policies across all jurisdictions, which can lead to discrepancies and challenges in audits.

Managing Transfer Pricing Risks

Companies must continually assess and manage risks related to transfer pricing, including the risk of non-compliance and potential adjustments by tax authorities.
Related Party and Connected Persons

The approach for determination or identification of related parties and connected persons still needs further clarifications from the FTA's side
Impact of Digitalization

The rise of digital business models complicates the application of traditional transfer pricing methods, making it harder to allocate profits to different jurisdictions.
Cost Allocation and Profit Splitting

Allocating costs and profits accurately between related entities, especially for intangible assets, is a significant challenge.
