Dubai takes the first spot on the list of countries where workers get to take home 100 per cent of the total income earned.

That is according to a report by the PwC UK, which placed Dubai above the likes of Hong Kong, Singapore and New York.

Owing to a lack of income tax or social security payments for non-nationals in Dubai, any compensation amount awarded to employees are received in full.

This unique framework has long attracted high-income individuals and multinational corporations to set up shop in Dubai.
