ABOUT THE EVENT
On 10 December 2018, Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Zakat and Tax (GAZT) published draft transfer pricing by-laws (TP By-laws) for public consultation. The TP By-laws broadly follow international standards, including the arm’s-length principle and documentation standards as set out in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Transfer Pricing Guidelines.
As per the GAZT website, “the TP By-laws are applicable to persons considered taxpayers in Saudi Arabia under the corporate Income Tax Law. Generally, this includes – without limitation – multinational enterprise groups (MNE Groups), one or many members of which are deemed a taxable person in Saudi Arabia.”citu
The TP By-laws introduce new compliance requirements for fiscal years ending on or after 31 December 2018, including the submission of a Controlled Transaction Disclosure Form – due within 120 days from the end of the fiscal year end and filed as part of the annual income tax declaration. Additionally, the TP By-laws introduce transfer pricing documentation and country-by-country (CbC) reporting requirements that are broadly aligned with the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action 13 Final Report.
