Dct no speed
No fishing expedition son, the 'Nashua 1 Alpha' arrival is direct JN, high speed and landing on the left.......thought you would know that?
As for Muscat, offer is the equivalent of Dhs 30 000 all incl.
Doha is unconfirmed at Dhs26 000 plus a villa.
Not sure where you get your 1 in 4, but there must be more to it than just money.

The whole VAT and tax issue has much wider ramifications as these are all recommendations from the IMF. The recommendations made are not exclusively for the UAE but aimed at those countries that have no personal income tax system within the GCC. Don't think that the UAE would implement such a system when the neighbours are not, think of the benfit the neighbours would have with an influx of qualified expats. The UAE would not want to risk losing the infrastructure they have. In other words, tax, vat etc would, in all probability, be instituted as a GCC initiative. Don't always believe what you read in the papers, or pprune for that matter.
