Why is Transfer Pricing Important?
Transfer pricing plays a vital role in ensuring tax compliance and fair financial practices. Key points to consider include:
The definition of transfer pricing now includes payments to "Connected Persons."
For the first taxable period, the opening balance must adhere to the arm’s length principle. Taxpayers should adjust any closing balances with related parties before this period begins.
All dealings with related parties, both within the UAE and internationally, must be conducted at arm’s length.
Entities in qualifying free zones are required to follow the arm’s length principle.
Taxpayers generating AED 200 million or more in revenue during a tax period must maintain transfer pricing documentation.
Nonetheless, adherence to the arm’s length principle is essential, even for those below this threshold.
