Maybe EK ,management (
) can do the same with the VAT as they have done with driving licenses and get an exemption for EK pilots and their wives....
ps we do have tax here now anyway... like booze, restaurants , traffic violations than cant be proved but you have to pay...nice little earner, maids visa...all little things that soon add up.....I forget the numbers but 30% on alcohol and 10% on bills for eating out.
