Transfer Pricing

Transfer pricing is crucial in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) as it ensures fair and arm's length pricing for transactions between affiliated entities. This practice is vital for maintaining financial integrity, preventing tax evasion, and aligning with international standards. Effective transfer pricing compliance fosters transparency and builds trust among stakeholders, contributing to a robust and credible business environment within the DIFC.

Compliance with Transfer Pricing regulations yields various benefits for businesses. This includes the optimization of pricing decisions to mitigate the risk of over or under-pricing in intercompany transactions, minimizing the potential for tax audits and disputes with tax authorities through meticulous analysis and documentation of Transfer Pricing policies, and establishing clear policies and procedures for enhanced transparency and consistency. The scope of compliance encompasses related parties, defined as individuals or entities with established connections to a business through ownership, control, or kinship, and connected persons, which involve individuals with ownership interests, directorial roles, or up to the fourth degree of kinship or affiliation, thereby ensuring a comprehensive approach to regulatory adherence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
what is the potential risk for DIFC entity if they violate Transfer pricing regulation ?
Violating Transfer Pricing (TP) rules in the DIFC can lead to extra taxes and penalties for tax underpayment. Tax authorities may adjust transaction prices, resulting in substantial additional tax liabilities. TP audits and discussions with tax authorities are complex and time-consuming, heightening the consequences of non-compliance.
What are the methods established to align with OECD transfer pricing guidelines ?
Accepted transfer pricing methods include Transactional Net Margin, Transactional Profit Split, Cost-Plus, Comparable Uncontrolled Price, and Resale Price. These methods ensure fair assessments aligned with international standards.
What transfer pricing documentation should the DIFC companies maintain and what are the contents of the TP documentation ?
DIFC companies are required to maintain transfer pricing documentation as per UAE law. This includes a master file with comprehensive information on the multinational enterprise group and a local file focusing on specific transactions of the local taxpayer. The local file contains details of the local entity, controlled transactions, and financial information for comparison. This documentation ensures compliance and transparency in transfer pricing practices.
What is transfer pricing ?
Transfer pricing (TP) regulations globally are designed to ensure fair tax assessments by preventing the manipulation of transaction prices, especially by related parties attempting to evade taxes by transferring profits to jurisdictions with lower tax rates. These regulations establish standards based on the arm’s length principle, ensuring that transactions mirror those conducted between unrelated parties in similar situations. This principle safeguards against tax evasion tactics and promotes equity in tax contributions across jurisdictions.
