HayyaTax: FTA Approved Accounting and Tax Consultancy in Dubai
Arm's-length salary reviews for owners, directors, and other connected persons — documented to support your UAE Corporate Tax position.
Under the UAE Corporate Tax Law, payments to connected persons — owners, directors, and their relatives — must reflect market value to remain deductible. A salary benchmarking study compares a role's pay against comparable market data, giving you a defensible, documented basis for the remuneration you report.
Any UAE taxable person paying salary, allowances, or benefits to an owner, director, or other connected or related person should be able to show that payment reflects market value. This applies whether the business is a mainland company, a free zone entity, or part of a wider group with related-party payroll arrangements.
There's no separate filing deadline for a salary benchmarking study on its own — it isn't submitted to the FTA by itself. What matters is that it's ready and documented before you file, since connected-person remuneration must already reflect market value at the point your Corporate Tax return is due. Corporate Tax returns are due within 9 months of your financial year end, so we recommend completing the study well ahead of that date.
Pay to owners, directors, and other connected persons must meet the arm's length standard, documented the same way as any other related-party transaction once these thresholds apply.
We review the role, responsibilities, and current pay for each connected person in scope.
Your data is compared against relevant UAE market benchmarks for similar roles and seniority.
You receive a documented benchmarking report to support your Corporate Tax position, with guidance on any adjustments.
