Living in Qatar - needs offshore bank account

[Sumatra]

Hi,

I have a brother working in Qatar (resident, pays tax there) and he has been told to set up an offshore bank account.

Thanks in advance for any direction or banking recommendations.

I used to work in Saudi Arabia and thought the same.
I opened an account in the Channel Islands (AIB) no problem through my own bank here.

However it turned out my foreign income was not liable to tax if I sent it home to Ireland. So I did.

Recently got a nosy letter about the never-used off shore account from the Revenue too.

Surely you mean "concerned letter" Mommah? X 2

Many thanks for your help Mommah.
