Customer Reviews
Perfect for international entrepreneurs
Fascinating stuff, I feel like I’m learning more about how businesses work in the UAE after listening to this podcast. The episode with the Al Awadhi brothers & their business, Wildpeeta was a great listen, super audio quality and storytelling. Nice work!
Informative podcast
I listened to the VAT 4 episode. I'm not familar with VAT and how it works in UAE, so this episode was quite informative. I like how they got an account to explain the difference between goods (brought in) and custom boundaries. Providing goods to a indivdual customer is charged 5% VAT - had no idea. I just thought UAE was VAT-free.
