What service offerings do HLB HAMT Transfer Pricing Consultants provide to businesses in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre?
Transfer Pricing Assessment
A transfer pricing assessment serves as a transaction identifier, evaluating each transaction to ensure compliance with the arm’s length principle (ALP). This crucial step helps businesses maintain transparency and integrity in their financial operations while adhering to international tax compliance standards.
Moreover, it enables companies in the UAE to proactively address potential issues and refine their pricing strategies, minimizing the risk of disputes with tax authorities. It’s essential for businesses to understand which transactions qualify for benchmarking and ALP determination to ensure effective pricing strategies.
Transfer Pricing Impact Assessment
A transfer pricing impact assessment enables businesses to understand the effects of new transfer pricing regulations on their finances and operations. Here’s our approach:
- Identifying Related Party Transactions: We examine significant transactions between related companies and outline the requirements for compliance with UAE transfer pricing regulations.
- Evaluating Effects: We analyze both the financial and operational implications of the new rules to ensure your business is well-prepared for any changes.
- Identifying Risks and Opportunities: Our team identifies necessary adjustments to establish a more robust and efficient transfer pricing model that adheres to regulations while capitalizing on potential growth opportunities.
Transfer Pricing Disclosure Form
The Transfer Pricing disclosure form provides details of Controlled Transactions that occur during a Tax Period. According to Article 55(1) of the Corporate Tax Law, all taxable entities that engage in transactions with related parties or connected persons must submit this form along with their corporate tax return if their transactions exceed specific thresholds set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
- Mandatory Reporting: If total related-party transactions exceed AED 40 million, or if any single category surpasses AED 4 million, these must be reported.
- Connected Person Disclosure: Any transactions over AED 500,000 with a connected person must also be disclosed.
Creation of Local and master file
In the UAE, companies that are part of a multinational enterprise (MNE) group with consolidated revenues exceeding AED 3.15 billion or individual revenues above AED 200 million must prepare two key documents: a Local File and a Master File.
Local File
The Local File is a transfer pricing document that provides detailed information about specific controlled transactions that occur during the tax period. It includes:
- Details of intercompany transactions
- Identities of related parties
- Applicable transfer pricing methods
- An analysis that shows compliance with the arm’s length principle
This file is essential for ensuring transparency and must be made available to the UAE tax authorities if requested.
Master File
The Master File provides a broader overview of the entire MNE group’s global operations, including:
- Business structure
- Key value drivers
- Policies and procedures related to transfer pricing
- Allocation of income and economic activities
Together, the Local File and Master File help ensure compliance with regulations and enable effective monitoring of transfer pricing practices across different regions.
Country by Country Report
This report shows the global distribution of the MNE group’s income, taxes paid, and indicators regarding the location of economic activities within the group. Additional supporting information may also be required by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) as per Article 55(4) of the Corporate Tax Law.
Bench marking
Benchmarking in transfer pricing involves comparing a company’s intercompany transaction prices with similar transactions between independent entities under comparable conditions. The main goal of a benchmarking study is to assess general pricing conditions in the market, allowing businesses to determine arm’s length ranges or mark-up values.
