Today’s world has turned into a GLOBAL MALL. New Markets, New Vendors, online trading creates a new opportunity for the businesses.

One of the important factors a business has to consider is to secure the best labor at the lowest possible rate.

Dubai and the United Arab Emirates are the classic examples where you can set up an entity in any of more than 20 Free Zones and hire top of the line executives from any part of the world.

These offer opportunities but also creates complex tax issues both for employers and the employees.

U.S. has introduced FATCA which requires foreign financial institutions to report transactions pertaining to the U.S. Citizens.

Also, American businesses set up abroad need to comply with a number of reporting requirements.

It is very important that when you expand your business overseas from your native country, you need to create a corporate structure which is most tax effective. Similarly, when you hire an executive in an international location like Dubai, you should be fully aware as to what your obligations to comply with tax regulations of the country from where you are hiring the executive.

Transfer pricing happens whenever two companies that are part of the same multinational group trade with each other: when a U.S. based subsidiary of NIKE, for example, buys something from China based subsidiary of NIKE. When the parties establish a price for the transaction, this is transfer pricing.

If two unrelated companies trade with each other, a market price for the transaction will generally result. This is known as “arms-length” trading because it is the product of genuine negotiation in a market. This arm’s length is usually considered to be acceptable for tax purposes.

But when two related companies trade with each other, they may wish to artificially distort the price at which the trade is recorded, to minimize the overall tax bill. This might, for example, help it record as much of its profit as possible in a tax haven with low or zero taxes.

These factors drive intensified scrutiny of transfer pricing arrangement by the U.S. tax regulations.

If you have operations at multiple locations and trade between these locations, the risks of getting caught for scrutiny are very high and real. These may be:

(a) A very large tax reassessment at the originating location or at the locations where goods are sent, or services are rendered. There may be significant penalties, intent or overdue taxes and double taxation if double tax treaties are not available to you in that country;

(b) Uncertainty about your Global tax burden and expensive, time-consuming conflicts with the regulatory authorities;

(c) Your reputation may be at stake and there may be damage to your brand if regulatory authorities impose sanctions against these brands.
