Transfer Pricing
The UAE companies are required to assess whether they must abide by transfer pricing rules since the introduction of corporate tax in the UAE. Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) carrying out cross-border transactions with their group entities located in different tax jurisdictions may be required to assess their transfer pricing requirements.
Such entities need to ensure that the prices of intra-group transactions are meeting the Arm’s Length Standard. It means the transactions between the related parties should be priced as if they were carried out among independent entities under similar circumstances in the open market.
