UAE Transfer Pricing Documentation

Arm’s-length policy, master and local files and the corporate-tax disclosure — related-party pricing documented to OECD standards before the FTA asks to see it.

Overview

Related-party pricing, documented to defend.

UAE corporate tax brought transfer pricing into force with real teeth — arm’s-length pricing, disclosure forms and documentation thresholds. We set defensible related-party and connected-person policies, prepare the master and local files where required, and align the position to your corporate tax return so the numbers tell one consistent story.

Groups with related-party or intra-group transactions
Companies with connected-person dealings such as owners and directors
Free-zone entities needing to protect qualifying income

FAQ

UAE transfer pricing, answered.

Does transfer pricing apply to my company?
If you transact with related parties or connected persons, you are expected to price at arm’s length and may need documentation and a disclosure form. We confirm what applies based on your transactions and size.
What documentation do I need?
Depending on the thresholds, you may need a master file, a local file and the related-party disclosure with the return. We prepare what is required and benchmark the positions.
How does this affect my free-zone 0% rate?
Mispriced related-party transactions can jeopardise qualifying income. We set pricing that supports, rather than undermines, your free-zone position.
