In today’s UAE business environment, transfer pricing is no longer optional; it's essential. With the introduction of corporate tax and OECD-aligned rules, the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requires companies engaged in controlled related-party transactions to maintain accurate, timely, and defendable transfer pricing documentation, subject to the applicable thresholds and disclosure requirements. Partnering with experienced UAE transfer pricing consultants ensures compliance while minimizing risks and optimizing tax strategies.

FAQs
What is transfer pricing in UAE?
Transfer pricing is the pricing of transactions between related entities to ensure that intercompany arrangements reflect market-based values and align with tax obligations.
How do you prepare UAE transfer pricing documentation?
We prepare a Master File and Local File aligned with BEPS Action 13, supported by a Functional and Risk Analysis (FAR) and robust benchmarking studies. Documentation is customized to reflect your value chain and local regulatory nuances.
Is transfer pricing mandatory in the UAE?
For many entities under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, especially those meeting thresholds, transfer pricing documentation is mandatory. Even where not strictly required, robust TP documentation is highly recommended for risk management.
When does transfer pricing apply in the UAE?
TP rules apply to controlled transactions with related or connected persons (for example, cross-border services, intercompany financing, and transfers of goods or intangibles). Documentation and disclosure obligations depend on statutory definitions, materiality thresholds, and the TP disclosure requirements.
Who needs transfer pricing analysis in the UAE?
Multinational enterprises, UAE-based groups with related-party transactions, and companies subject to corporate tax. Any entity with related-party transactions that could influence taxable income should consider TP analysis.
How long does a typical TP project take?
A typical engagement spans 8–14 weeks for initial master/local file development and policy design, depending on transaction complexity, data availability, and the need for benchmarking. Ongoing monitoring and updates occur on a defined cadence (e.g., annual or semi-annual).
What data do you need from my side?
organizational charts, business descriptions, transfer pricing policies, functional analyses, transactional data (prices, volumes, terms), intercompany agreements, financial statements, and any prior TP documentation or tax authority correspondence.
How do you handle benchmarking studies?
We select credible, comparable companies, apply appropriate methods (e.g., TNMM, CUP, RPM), justify adjustments, and document data sources and assumptions. We provide sensitivity analyses and defendability reviews to withstand scrutiny.
