Gross vs Net Salary in GCC
In all six GCC countries — UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman — expatriate workers pay zero income tax. This means your gross salary is essentially your net salary. For Saudi and GCC nationals, GOSI (9.75%) or equivalent social insurance contributions apply on the basic salary. This makes GCC one of the most financially attractive destinations for skilled workers globally.
