Coutts Consultants coordinates uae transfer pricing & related-party compliance review as a defined UAE professional-services engagement.
We begin by establishing the client's commercial objective and the correct federal, emirate, free-zone or financial-centre jurisdiction, then review group structure, related parties, controlled transactions, arm's-length pricing, connected persons, documentation thresholds and disclosures. The UAE is not a single generic company-formation market: licensing, premises, immigration, tax, banking and regulatory requirements vary materially by activity and authority.
We therefore structure the engagement around the client's actual business and coordinate the appropriate authority, bank or specialist provider. Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified UAE professionals, and all licences, visas, accounts and regulatory approvals remain subject to the relevant authority or institution.
