Transfer Pricing
HAS Global Tax Consultants provides transfer pricing and related business advisory services in Dubai and across the UAE. We help companies price related-party transactions at arm’s length, prepare the documentation the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) expects, and plan group structures with the UAE corporate tax rules in mind.

Comprehensive Transfer Pricing Advisory
Transfer pricing rules in the UAE require all companies—especially those in multinational groups—to price transactions with related parties at arm’s length. This applies to goods, services, intellectual property, and financing arrangements, both within the UAE and internationally. Non-compliance can lead to double taxation, penalties, and increased FTA scrutiny.
When Should You Get Transfer Pricing Advisory?
Related-party dealings: You buy, sell, lend or share costs with shareholders, group companies or other related parties.
New or changing structure: You are setting up in the UAE or restructuring your group.
Intercompany charges: You pay or receive management fees, royalties or interest across the group.
Compliance questions: You are unsure whether you need a disclosure form, a Local File or a Master File.
FTA queries: The Federal Tax Authority has asked about your intercompany transactions.
Transfer Pricing Obligations in the UAE

Who needs transfer pricing advisory in the UAE?
Any taxable person with related-party or connected-person transactions, including UAE companies with foreign parents, Free Zone entities dealing with group companies, and owner-managed businesses that deal with shareholders.
Do I need a Local File and Master File?
They are required where your UAE revenue is AED 200 million or more, or your group’s consolidated revenue is AED 3.15 billion or more. Smaller companies should still keep records showing that their pricing is arm’s length.
Is a transfer pricing disclosure form always required?
Not always. It is filed with your corporate tax return where related-party transactions exceed AED 40 million or other FTA thresholds are met. We check your position before the return is filed.
