REPRESENTATION BEFORE FTA FOR TRANSFER PRICING DISPUTES

Getting entangled in transfer pricing disputes in the UAE may have serious repercussions on Multinational enterprises (MNEs). In such circumstances, they need someone to represent them before the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) in the UAE.

Tax Gian and its associate Jitendra Tax Consultants (JTC) can represent our clients before the UAE FTA in case of transfer pricing disputes or controversy. We have a team of transfer pricing consultants who can support you in case of disputes in the UAE.

Understanding Transfer Pricing Disputes

Transfer pricing involves setting the prices of goods, services, loans or intangibles transferred between related parties of an MNE located in different tax jurisdictions. Tax authorities will scrutinize the transfer pricing arrangements of your company to ensure they meet the arm’s length principle.

Any discrepancy will lead to disputes, audits, litigation and significant tax adjustments. If you face any such dispute in the UAE, our transfer pricing consultants can represent you before the FTA.

Why Transfer Pricing Representation is Crucial?

Dealing with transfer pricing disputes requires a deep understanding of the UAE and international tax laws, OECD guidelines, and specific industry practices. A transfer pricing adviser who can represent businesses before the UAE FTA can help them mitigate risks, avoid double taxation, and protect them from potential penalties.

Our team of seasoned transfer pricing professionals provides comprehensive support throughout the entire dispute resolution process for the UAE MNEs.
