UAE Corporate Tax Return deadline: 30 September 2026, is your Transfer Pricing file audit-ready? Before you file, ask yourself: - Have you counted gross, not net, on all related-party transactions? (The AED 40M / AED 4M test matters) - Is your Free Zone 0% status protected, or is your mainland "sister" transaction the weak link? - Are Connected Persons transactions priced at arm's length and backed by your Local File? - Is your Tax Group's intercompany structure properly documented? - Are your numbers tied out to the accounts before the auditors ask? One failed condition can cost your Qualifying Free Zone status for the period + the next 4 periods. That's not a typo, that's Article 18. At SBC Tax Consulting LLC, we run the TP Desk behind audit and law firms across the Gulf, helping multinational groups, family groups with tax-exempt and tax-paying units, and businesses with Free Zone + mainland entities. From Dubai to Hyderabad to Delaware, if it's TP, it's SBC.
