I understand they provide transportation to/from HQ, is this true?
Has a tax been implemented in Dubai? Heard they were starting that soon.
I'm sure I have many more questions to come later.
-You can send cargo when you join. I think you only have to pay the tax and custom fees. Details are given prior joining.
Cargo entitlement when resigning is 900kg, so I guess it's the same amount when you join.
-You can choose. Furnished (very basic and doen't look that nice) or non furnished with a 45,000 AED furnishing allowance (pro rata repayable if you leave within 5 years).
You can use your furnishing allowance to ship your furniture from home via a cargo container if you want.
-Yes
-5% VAT from January 2018. No income tax (yet), but if you are from the USA, I think that you will still be taxed in the US.
