A key highlight of the clarification is the direct impact it has on transactions and payments made to shareholders, directors, officers, owners, and related parties that are involved with the business. This will include:
- Salaries and bonuses
- Management fees and consultancy payments
- Allowances, reimbursements and benefits
Reinforcing the fact that the deductibility of these payments will not be limited to just where they were incurred, but will also consider if they can be commercially justified. Businesses now would have to demonstrate if the commercial terms linked to the payment are in line with the market value conditions. But the FTA has also further detailed the conditionality that businesses have to meet before the transaction will be considered deductible. The conditions are:
- The expense is for genuine business purposes;
- The amount is commercially justifiable; and
- The value is at market level.
Any excess over market value may be disallowed for Corporate Tax purposes.
Conclusion
For every business to properly function, it has to ensure that it maintains supporting documents for its decisions. The clarification by the FTA about Article 36 of the UAE Corporate Tax Law further puts this point into the spotlight. With respect to the market value, businesses are now expected to maintain documentation such as:
- Employment and service agreements
- Board resolutions
- Benchmarking and salary studies
- Job descriptions and role clarity
- Evidence of services rendered
The clarification becomes more than just a guideline that clarifies the terminologies. It shapes the corporate tax structure with the broader principle of substance over form.
