Transfer Pricing Advisory
The adoption of a new model of transfer pricing has lately drawn tremendous attention due to its growing impact on corporate income taxation in Dubai. The objective is to create frameworks that sovereign states may employ to prevent multinational firms from artificially moving earnings in order to take advantage of differences and inconsistencies in tax regulations across different jurisdictions. The framework will streamline the entire taxation mechanism in the country enabling both the government and the businesses to benefit from it.
What Is Transfer Pricing in UAE?
As per the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), Transfer Price refers to the price at which a business transfers intangible properties and physical goods or provides services to the associated businesses.
The UAE has joined the OECD comprehensive model on Base Erosion & Profit Shifting (BEPS) to streamline its taxation as per global standards. By joining the model, the country has deliberately committed to exercising BEPS standards including Transfer Pricing Documentation. With the implementation of corporate tax beginning in June 2023, Transfer Pricing regulation will also have a proportionate impact on customs duties, withholding taxes, excise tax, value-added taxes, and a variety of other government charges.
Transfer Pricing Regulations in UAE
Enriched by oil revenues, the UAE has experienced a dazzling economic rise in a couple of years that transform the country into a strong vibrant economic and commercial hub attracting foreign investments into the country. To take its initiative of making the country a global economic hub to further, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) in UAE announced that the Federal Corporate Tax (CT) on corporate revenues would be imposed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) starting with fiscal years beginning on or after 1 June 2023.
On April 28, 2022, a Public Consultation Document (PCD) with more detailed information on the expected UAE CT regime was also released with the intention of soliciting feedback from interested parties and stakeholders prior to implementation. Businesses must abide by the transfer pricing regulations and documentation requirements established in accordance with the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines in UAE.

If the income earned from your property comes from activities that do not require any government authority license, then this income is considered natural persons income, and you do not need to pay any corporate tax for this real estate earning. The source of this income can be direct or indirect, and it could be from any mode of earning, such as selling, leasing, sub-leasing, and renting land or real estate property in the UAE.
A non-resident will be recognized as having a PE in the UAE if they have a fixed place of business or a dependent agency there. The language employed in the Law to define these tests appears to broadly mirror the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines. Any further nexus in the UAE that might lead to a PE would be resolved by a Ministerial Decision, in accordance with the Corporate Tax Law.
Any legal entity or individual based in the UAE who has annual revenues below the Minister’s threshold and who satisfies any further requirements may apply for a small business exemption.
The following rates for UAE CT will apply to entities based in a free zone that satisfy the requirements to take advantage of the free zone CT system (“Qualifying Free Zone Persons”).
- Qualifying Income – 0%.
- 9% of Taxable Income that does not fall within the criteria of Qualifying Income
