As there's no income tax in Dubai, double taxation treaties have little relevance to most expats anyway. It's the tax laws of the country you're from that are imp...

MaaaD wrote:probably one of the safest places to raise two teenage kids,

Yes mostly. The downside is kids who drink, have sex, do drugs etc, are more likely to get jail and deportation if caught, than in Europe.

How many times did you post this? I've counted 3 so far ...

I posted this 3 times in different sections. Is this against forum rules/etiquette?? I don't know about this forum. But most forums I've seen don't like double posting ... maybe triple posting is ok ;). What confuses me though is, which one of the multiple topics should I reply in? Or should I post...

We are now considering selling our small businesses here (a beauty salon and a real estate office). Assuming they are viable businesses, why sell them? If you come here with a pocket full of cash, it will disappear quickly. Get a job here that provides accommodation, school fees, etc, and leave som...

Generally yes, and no.

sage & onion wrote:I believe you need to have a residence permit prior to being able to rent one.

Yes, I think that's correct although you could try even if you don't have residency (but I don't think it's likely you'll succeed). You don't need one to renew. Here's a list of UAE post offices

I thought someone else just asked about UAS? 110k gets you a good 1 bedroom apt. Might get you a poor 2 bedroom. Utilities not too much unless you live in villa or huge apartment. Where is school provided accommodation? UAS in Festival City near Business Bay bridge. Live in Festival City if you want...

Sheikhmo wrote:Now I see Ahmed picture I know what troll is.

No. You've either demonstrated how little you know about the internet, or you've confirmed you are a troll.

ahamed wrote:never mind him

Yeah, I'm doing exactly the opposite of what I'd suggest .

Supermarket (Choitrams, Spinneys), Carrefour, Geant, Ace Hardware? At least one of those places should have one.

My computer clock is a bit slow though .

with our children 18,15,6 to work I think only the 18 year old would be allowed to work. And camels use robot jockeys now so the 6 year old is out of luck. Good idea though, kids have it too easy these days :mrgreen: Apart from that, what do you want to know? Here's somewhere to start that's all ab...
