Transfer Pricing Advisory & Compliance in the UAE
Transfer pricing has become a critical compliance and risk management area for businesses operating in Dubai and across the UAE. With the introduction of UAE Corporate Tax and alignment with OECD guidelines, companies engaging in related-party transactions must ensure their pricing policies are compliant, well-documented, and defensible.

Our advisory approach supports multinational groups, regional businesses, and UAE-based entities in implementing compliant and practical transfer pricing frameworks.

Understanding Transfer Pricing in the UAE
What Is Transfer Pricing?
Transfer pricing refers to the pricing of transactions between related parties, such as:
Sale of goods
Provision of services
Intellectual property licensing
Intercompany financing
These transactions must be conducted at arm’s length, meaning the pricing should be consistent with what independent parties would agree under similar circumstances.
Transfer Pricing Regulations in the UAE
The UAE Corporate Tax Law and associated transfer pricing rules follow the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines, requiring businesses to:
Apply the arm’s length principle
Maintain proper transfer pricing documentation
Disclose related-party transactions
Support pricing decisions with benchmarking analysis
Failure to comply may result in penalties, adjustments, or increased audit exposure by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA).
Who Needs Transfer Pricing Services in Dubai?
Transfer pricing compliance is relevant for:
Multinational enterprises (MNEs)
UAE groups with related entities
Free zone and mainland companies
Businesses with cross-border transactions
Entities engaged in management services, royalties, or financing
If your business engages in related-party transactions, professional transfer pricing support is essential.
