    Haha well cigarettes have a higher vat amount. I pay about R80 equavelant for a box. So that's not really cheaper now

    @Whoknows unfortunately for me I pay South African tax as my business is South African registered and I earn in Rand's. I then pay using Rand's for everything I do which has a conversion rate and it's R1 more per AED than it was last year so I get taxed extra.

    On the bright side. My business here is exempt from tax so it sort of balances out

    Jus adding a black trimming around the top to cover the bracing. We've also made a glass cover for the top which will sit on the bracing

    When I stayed at Atlantis I ran out of cigarettes on the last night and I had to order from room service. It was 75AED a pack. Exchange rate was R5.10 at the time. That was really bad haha

    Can't you move the registration to be there to make your life simpler? ;)

    I can but I have clients in SA whom make up a great 80% of my business. Plus with FNB I have debit order authorisation for clients. It's too much to take into consideration first. Also business is different here and there so it would take registering a complete new business.
