Tax and more tax

Although the IFALPA ban has been lifted it is still not a good time to join Dragonair given the current tax fiasco. Not only will you have to pay UK and HK tax you will also have to pay HK tax in advance! You will take home about 40% of your pay until it is sorted out!
Many of us are waiting to see how management handle this before we decide to move on or not. Any slight semblence of good times has come to an end at Dragonair.
No pay rise for 6yrs and probably 5yrs plus to command for MAN base and even longer for HKG. Be wary of their interview promises.
