Importance of Transfer Pricing Compliance in Dubai

Transfer pricing is the price at which related parties carry out cross-border transactions to transfer goods, services, or non-physical assets. Related parties may include sister companies, parent-subsidiary relationships, and affiliates under common control or influence. Such transactions between related parties is called controlled transactions. Our transfer pricing advisory services help enterprises ensure that their intercompany transactions comply with OECD guidelines, properly valuing intangible assets, setting fair pricing for transactions, and maintaining detailed documentation.

Threshold for Transfer Pricing Services in Dubai?

The UAE Ministry of Finance (MOF) has made it mandatory for taxpayers in the UAE to prepare and maintain documentation related to transfer pricing. All Dubai taxpayers must comply with the following UAE transfer pricing documentation regulations. A taxable person must maintain both a Master File and a Local File for transfer pricing if they are part of a multinational group with consolidated revenue greater than AED 3.15 billion or if the taxable person has revenue exceeding AED 200 million during the tax period. The Master File provides a global overview of a multinational group’s transfer pricing operations, while the Local File details the local entity’s related-party transactions. This approach ensures that related parties follow the arm’s length principle, meaning transactions are priced fairly between related companies. If your business doesn't meet the given threshold, you are still required to submit the disclosure form as part of your corporate tax return.

Maximizing Profits Across Borders: How Transfer Pricing Empowers Global Businesses

For multinational companies, transfer pricing isn’t just a technical concept, it’s a practical way to stay competitive. It lets businesses fairly divide profits and costs between their branches in different countries, often leading to major tax savings. Over 60% of global trade happens within multinational groups, according to the OECD. That’s huge. And when companies get their pricing strategy right, they can cut tax expenses by anywhere from 10% to 30%, based on IRS data. But it’s not just about taxes, it also helps companies manage resources better and keep their global operations more transparent and efficient.

How It works

If your business deals with related parties, locally or internationally, transfer pricing rules apply to your business. We help you document your pricing, stay compliant, and reduce the risk of tax issues down the line.

1

Understanding Your Transactions

We start by reviewing how your company works with other groups of entities. That includes intercompany sales, loans, services, or intellectual property use. Every transaction tells us what needs to be covered.

2

Check Rules Requirements

Not all businesses need full documentation. We look at your revenue, ownership, and transaction types to see what transfer pricing rules apply, and at what level.

3

Prepare the Right Documents

If documentation is required, we will handle it for you. That includes a local file, master file, and, if applicable, the disclosure form. Everything is aligned with OECD guidelines and UAE Corporate Tax law.

4

Final Report and Review

The transfer pricing report is sensitive. We make sure your files are complete, consistent with your tax return, and ready in case the FTA asks for them.

Frequently Ask & Questions

Yes, we assist with preparing transfer pricing documentation like Local File, Master File, and Disclosure Forms. We help businesses ensure that their related party transactions are properly documented and in line with UAE Corporate Tax Law and OECD Guidelines. 

A business must prepare a Master File and Local File if it has: 

  • It is part of a multinational group with consolidated global revenue exceeding AED 3.15 billion. 
  • It is a taxable person with revenue above AED 200 million during the relevant tax period. 

A UAE business must prepare a Local File and Master File if it operates on a large scale or is part of a multinational group. These documents explain related-party transactions and ensure fair pricing. This helps tax authorities check if profits are reported correctly and taxed in the right place. 

Small Business Relief applies to businesses with revenue up to AED 3 million. While it may reduce some filing obligations, the business must still follow the arm’s length principle in related party transactions. 

CUP (Comparable Uncontrolled Price) method compares the price of a related party transaction to a similar deal between independent parties. On the other hand, TNMM (Transactional Net Margin Method) compares net profit margins from related party transactions to those of independent businesses. CUP is preferred if there are reliable market price comparisons, while TNMM is used when pricing data isn’t directly available, but profit margins can be analyzed. 

All free zone companies in Dubai are subject to the same transfer pricing rules if they have transactions with related parties, whether in Dubai or abroad.
