when you pay tax, there is an expectation of proper services rendered by government and a standard of living comensurate with the wealth of the nation derived from taxation ie schooling, healthcare, public facilities and infrastructure.
if the gcc nations decide to tax the individual, there is no more incentive for the expat to be here. in the first place, we were here for one reason and one reason alone.....A TAX FREE SALARY.
WHY PAY TAX AND LIVE LIKE BEDOUINS IN THE DESERT WHEN YOU CAN PAY TAX AND LIVE CLOSE TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY?
