Hello,
I am an IT Professional (Cyber Security field to be specific) & planning to move to Dubai/Abu Dhabi.

I am looking for answers to few basic questions.

Is salary 100 % Tax free? If company commits X AED, does it mean we get the exact amount?
Do companies give benefits like flight tickets, home, travel, kids education? Do they increase salary if we dont take benefits like Kid's education?
