Last time I give out good advice for free. Don't know what I was thinking. Muppets.

Crumbs they've just got back on the ham bone and accepted $20K - was hoping I'd put em off.

Then I think for $10k p/m my decider would be "do I fancy an extended break somewhere a bit exotic or not?"
Might also be worth considering implementing the following plan depending on your age:
1. Go UAE. Work, save money (don't blow it in Bahrain every w/end)
2. Buy apartment in tax free emirate that grants residence visa (I know Dubai does).
3. Register company in said Emirate.

Which particular Emirate?

Yes it was the full package - no other expenses involved.

No way I would even consider it then. Tax free is only of interest if it would noticably exceed my after tax income in the UK with all of the disruption involved.

If it's $10k plus accomodation, transport in country, flights, expenses etc and the duration is 1 year+ then that's a different matter.

If the gig is just $10k a month probably not worth it that's only roughly £60 k in a year.
