In the UAE and Saudi Arabia there is no personal income tax, which meaningfully increases take-home pay compared to equivalent roles in the UK, Australia or the US.<\/p>\n          <p>The figures shown have been calculated by Bespoke Careers to reflect <strong>total core package value<\/strong>, incorporating these primary components. They are presented as monthly figures in line with how compensation is typically quoted in these markets. Individual packages will vary depending on firm size, seniority, nationality, and whether benefits are provided as cash allowances or in-kind.
