I have just received confirmation from the UAE storage room renting company that they received my payment and the UAE address in my name is alive from now on.
I have decided to send a letter to the mailing address later today (which is my name and a PO box type number in Dubai - I was allowed to choose from a few other locations Abud Dhabi, etc.) to see if it gets bounced or it gets delivered in order...
Once this is done, I am going to do a cashout with a test amount (lets say €3000) before dec 31 (that is still in this tax year) so that I'll see how the tax authority of the country of my residence reacts to the transaction. I think this is the smart thing to do, and everyone should do the same when trying something new.

notes for Martin:
- no there were no invoices,
- yes, everyone here already knows you hate the user the idea first originated from, please stop telling everyone
- no, I'm still not the same person
- yes, I do already know you don't like the visuals of the website I just linked, but it's still not an advisory firm, just someone renting out storage rooms for expats
- no, some of us won't want to move our residence anywhere, even if you already did and that is the only solution you'll ever believe in
- yes, I do understand that this solution doesn't even work for you, because you live in a country with no double tax treaty with the UAE, I'm sorry for that but it is really not my fault, please don't punish me for it
- yes, I once again - really - promise there were no invoices involved in this transaction, nor will they be, so please don't post anymore about how fake invoices are not accepted as expenses by tax authorities as it is still irrelevant information to this subject, and as you put it:
your information is not useful to anyone as you are giving generic advice. People hope to get workable solutions. Not generic hearsay that you dont intend to prove.
- so please do as you advise others to do, while I am testdriving the 'workable solution'.
