  1. UAE Corporate Tax Transfer Pricing Guide • The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has initiated new tax regulations to improve transparency and global standards. Among these regulations, the UAE Corporate Tax Transfer Pricing Regime has taken on substantive importance. This brief will provide a comprehensive overview of transfer pricing, compliance requirements, and the implications of transfer pricing on taxation in the UAE. Whether you are a business owner or a tax professional, understanding the rules is critical to compliance with UAE tax law.

  2. Understanding Transfer Pricing in the UAE Transfer pricing is the term used to refer to the rules and methods for pricing transactions between related entities (known as controlled transactions) as part of a multinational group. These transactions can refer to the transfer of goods, services, and even intangible assets (e.g., Intellectual Property). Regulations governing transfer pricing are intended to guarantee that transactions involving products and services are carried out at arm's length, or that the costs incurred by linked parties are equivalent to those incurred by unrelated parties in similar circumstances.

  3. Key Components of UAE Corporate Tax Transfer Pricing UAE Corporate Tax Transfer Pricing framework aims to ensure that taxable profits are appropriately allocated to UAE and prevent profit shifting. Key components of Transfer Pricing in UAE include, among others - 1. Arm's Length Principle Arm's length principle forms the backbone of transfer pricing. In short, this principle states that related parties must behave as if they were not related, which makes prices, terms, and conditions comparable to those established by unrelated parties.

  4. 2. Transfer Pricing Methods :- In order to satisfy the arm’s length principle, firms are required to use one of the acceptable transfer pricing methods. These methods include • Comparable Uncontrolled Price Method (CUP) - A comparison is made between the price charged in a controlled transaction • Resale Price Method - The starting point of this method is the price at which an unrelated party has bought the goods and then deducts the appropriate gross margin • Cost Plus Method - The transfer price is determined by adding an appropriate profit margin on top of the costs of production

  5. 3. Transfer Pricing Documentation • Among the most integral parts of transfer pricing compliance is the requirement to have documentation. There is a need for businesses in the UAE to develop transfer pricing documentation that supports the arm's length nature of their related party transactions. The following are examples of such documentation - • Master file - this is a broad report that contains details on the global operations of a multinational, including financial as well as operational information. • Local file - this includes reporting that is focused on UAE entity with analysis and arm's length nature of related party transactions.

  6. 4. Benchmarking Analysis In the UAE, businesses are required to conduct a benchmarking analysis to show that their pricing arrangements with related entities are in line with market standards. This analysis compares the company's transactions with those of independent businesses operating under similar conditions. Transfer Pricing Compliance in the UAE In the UAE, transfer pricing compliance is regulated by the federal tax authority (FTA). The FTA ensures that businesses follow transfer pricing rules and keep acceptable documentation. 1. Submission of Documents 2. Examinations and Fines 3. Pre-arranged Pricing Agreements (APAs)

  7. Taxation in UAE - Impact of Transfer Pricing The entry of corporate tax in UAE is a remarkable turning point in the tax environment of the country. The computation of taxable income is very much on transfer pricing because related party transactions may directly determine profits made by UAE entities. 1. Effect on Multinational Corporations 2.
