AED 40 million is not the only Transfer Pricing threshold businesses need to watch.

Under the UAE Corporate Tax Return rules, if aggregate transactions with Related Parties exceed AED 40 million in a Tax Period, the Related Party Schedule must be completed.

Once that threshold is crossed, transaction categories exceeding AED 4 million must be disclosed separately.

But disclosure thresholds are only part of the picture. UAE Transfer Pricing rules apply to transactions with Related Parties and Connected Persons, and the arm’s-length principle applies regardless of whether these disclosure thresholds are exceeded.

Businesses should therefore review not just whether they cross a reporting threshold, but whether their related-party pricing can be commercially justified and supported.

FTA Decision No. 4 of 2026 is already in effect. Is your record-keeping process ready for an FTA request?

From 30 July 2026, businesses must ensure their accounting records and commercial books are complete, legible and accessible to the FTA when requested.

Where records are maintained electronically, businesses may also be required to provide access to the relevant system.

The focus now is not preparation. It is ensuring your existing accounting and record-keeping processes can meet these requirements when required.

Review your records. Review your systems. Stay FTA-ready.

Your ADGM company may be audit-exempt under ADGM Companies Regulations. But UAE Corporate Tax changes the answer.

To benefit from the 0% Corporate Tax rate on Qualifying Income as a Qualifying Free Zone Person (QFZP), the company must prepare and maintain audited financial statements, regardless of its size or revenue.

This requirement applies even where revenue is below AED 50 million.

Where an ADGM company prepares general-purpose audited financial statements, those statements must be filed with the ADGM Registration Authority, subject to the applicable filing requirements and exceptions.

For private companies with a December 31 year-end, the annual accounts filing deadline will generally be September 30, 2026.

Any auditor appointed to audit an ADGM company’s annual accounts must be an ADGM-registered auditor.

Speak with KGRN to assess your audit and filing requirements and ensure your ADGM business remains compliant.

For ship management companies, UAE VAT treatment depends on more than where the vessel is operating.

The correct treatment can vary based on factors such as:
▪️ The nature of the service provided
▪️ Where the customer is established
▪️ The contractual relationship between the parties
▪️ The applicable place-of-supply rules
▪️ Whether the service qualifies for zero-rating under UAE VAT regulations

A vessel operating outside the UAE does not automatically mean every related service is zero-rated.

Getting the VAT treatment right before invoicing can help avoid incorrect tax positions, adjustments and compliance issues later.

KGRN can assist maritime businesses in reviewing the VAT treatment of ship management and related services.

UAE businesses are increasingly operating across more than one activity, from technology and e-commerce to consulting, logistics and digital media.

In some cases, multiple business activities can be combined under a single UAE licence. But whether that structure works depends on factors such as:
▪️ The activities you want to combine
▪️ Mainland or Free Zone jurisdiction
▪️ Licensing authority requirements
▪️ Additional approvals for regulated activities
▪️ Corporate Tax treatment of each revenue stream

A multi-activity structure can reduce the need for separate entities, but choosing incompatible activity codes or the wrong jurisdiction can create licensing and compliance issues later.
KGRN can help assess the right business structure, licence and tax implications before you set up or expand your UAE operations.

From 1 January 2026, new UAE tax rules introduced a five-year limitation period affecting the recovery of excess refundable VAT.

Under Federal Decree-Law No. 16 of 2025, requests to reclaim excess refundable VAT must generally be made within the applicable five-year period after reconciliation. Once the limitation period expires, the right to reclaim the amount can expire.

There is also transitional relief under the amended Tax Procedures Law for certain older credit balances. Where the relevant five-year period had already expired before 1 January 2026, or expires within one year from that date, eligible taxpayers have a transitional window to submit their refund request.

If your business has been carrying forward significant VAT credits instead of requesting a refund, 2026 is the right time to review those balances and identify any approaching deadlines.

Offshore banks are becoming more cautious about issuing or renewing credit cards for some wealthy Indian residents, putting India’s 180-day overseas funds rule back in focus.

But for UAE-based NRIs, the key question is different:

What is your residency status under FEMA, and where did the funds come from?

UAE salary, business income and savings are not treated the same way as funds remitted from India under LRS.

UAE NRIs should still pay attention when dealing with:
▪️ LRS remittances from India
▪️ Unutilised overseas investment funds
▪️ NRO repatriations
▪️ A return to Indian FEMA residency
▪️ LRS transactions involving resident minor children

The important distinction is not your passport. It is your FEMA residency status, source of funds and purpose of remittance.
Unsure how the rules apply to your India-UAE finances?
