Hi There..... we are a couple from India planning to work and stay in Dubai...?

Question

What are the current living expenses for a young couple in Dubai??? Are the salaries we would be receiving taxed?? If yes, at what percent?? How much is the average cost of food , housing and other living expenses as of today?? please advise....

Answer 1

Rent for decent accommodation will be your major expense in Dubai. If accommodation is covered by your company then even Dhs.10 K is a decent salary. As of now Dubai is 100% tax free so you will not pay any tax. Until you get a driver's license (min 6 months - max indefinite) if you have to travel by taxi then it is expensive. Food (max 1000 per month for both of you) should be the least of your expenses .

Answer 2

No india is better....Coming to Dubai is a rong decision if u r getting a rasonable pay there. if u r getting 10 times there salary  than the indian salary then only its gud. the Cost of Living and Publc transportation is worse in dxb. Indian Life is better than dubai life
