Dubai has scrapped its 30 per cent alcohol tax in an attempt to make the city more attractive to foreigners, in the face of competition from neighbours. The oil-rich state will also stop charging for personal alcohol licences - something anyone who intends to drink needs to carry, BBC News reports. Dubai has been relaxing laws for some time, allowing the sale of alcohol in daylight during Ramadan and approving home delivery during the pandemic. This latest move is thought to be an apparent bid to boost tourism.

The oil-rich state will also stop charging for personal alcohol licences - something anyone who intends to drink needs to carry.

Dubai has been relaxing laws for some time, allowing the sale of alcohol in daylight during Ramadan and approving home delivery during the pandemic.The two companies which distribute alcohol in Dubai, Maritime and Mercantile International , and African & Eastern, said they would reflect the cut in tax for consumers.

It is not clear if the move, which took effect on Sunday, will be permanent. The Financial Times described the move as a one-year trial, citing"industry executives informed of the decision".

It looks like our Muslim brothers and sisters left the WhatsApp group, I can't see their comments.

The Hisbah here is destroying it but still want the VAT from Abuja. Apprentice wey sabi pass em masters

Make hishbah Abi what are they called come and see oooo

The M0€0 in kano are destroying NBL products in their city.... Hypocrisy...

The northern Muslims are the worst of Muslim Ummahs. They are primitive and archaic.

Kano will not learn from this.

U Neva has anything good news to share but BAD Omen, dis Sahara reporters or whatever u call urself u r nothing but bunch of promoters of evil and what will perish humanity.. COWS

They will never boost tourism by doing so. Ever since they bestowed their hatred towards Africans especially Nigerians who took the host nation as tourism hub, ban them and denied them visas. Their tourism boosting policy has crashed to nothing

The mumu people in some northern states in Nigeria whose states doesn't worth a toilet in UAE says they are practicing one useless law by banning alcohol and damaging the bottles, yet the main Muslims, UAE are reducing tax on same alcohol to boost tourism and economy. Awon odeh

Meanwhile in Nigeria, we have menaces who see all these things as a threat to their religion. Saudi Arabia and UAE have started to differeciate between human resources and religion

Am expecting something from Kano state government over this. Or is Kano more Islamic than Dubai. In a state where you have the blinds as citizens only a man with one eye will be king.

I can't find any comment from Northerners on this subject matter.. shows how hypocritic they are.

KanoStateGovt GovUmarGanduje you see for yourself? These are people that are closer to ur idolized 'prophet Muhammad'.but your hypocrisy in the North won't make you all reason well. Sharia this Sharia that,all for hypocrisy sake you destroy 100s of millions worth of alcohol.

Here hisba police is destroying millions of it

Kano will rather die in poverty.

Our own people here in northern side prefer breaking bottles of beer up and down.

Hisbah oya head to Dubai and arrest them. Gandujes bribing hands are still intact but he says you break beer bottles after u collect beer taxes. Am sure what u are practicing in northern nigeria is definitely not Islam.

These are people even closer to Mohammed of Arabia than those in Northern Nigeria practicing Terriosm' call Wahabbism I wonder D kind of Islam my brothers in the north are practicing? Alcohol sales and consumption allowed in Emirate(Dubai) but ban in some States of Nigeria

Waspapping_ will get mad at this, dude is extremist to Islamic ideals

If care is not taken those extremist cowards will bomb Dubai with claims of harbouring infidels🤠 Only few will understand my opinion!

But But But Some People Are Braking Bottle The Real Muslim 😂😂😂😂

Qatar beat them with tourism

The children of Mohammad in northern Nigeria are still breaking bottles of alcohol but patronize ashawo quarters at night

Kano state of Northern Nigeria left the whatsapp group.

Very soon they'll say Dubai is Haram.

Where is Hisbah police?

Islam is very bad to the extent that as it opens the eyes of some of the world to see advantages and means of exploiting from other people,it closes the eyes and brain of some people like nig northerners to be destroying financial values all around in the name of Islamic.

The whole world is moving forward. Meanwhile, hisba is destroying beer in the north.

Tell this to our northern brothers that carried religion on their head like do or die affair. Even in Saudi Arabia they do give licence for d sale of alcohol.

Wow So Sahara de connect outside Nigeria..good

If you actually hate something, then don't collect money derived from it.

Nigerian Muslims try to emulate other country's dark side... But when it comes to good achievements they cover their faces... Shame on Hisbah and our Government that's supporting them

...and husbah are destroying it!!!

Where are all is Islamic bigots and fanatics. They won’t like this one.

Hmm the hate is pouring like rain here...

But we have Hisbah police somewhere in Nigeria doing same thing that failed in the US 😂

What of coke and prostitutes?

While Kano destroys alcohol in the name of Islam.

Hay Nigeria 🇳🇬 my country, we have big problems 😪

Power of money

Hisbah left the group chat..awọn olofo carry religion for head like gala

Nairobi should do same....beer is too expensive

Hisbah police care to comment? 🙊

Just imagine a working system/country.. A muslim country manipulate alcohol consumption to boost the thier economy, while mumu hisbah keeps breaking bottles in the north,in which the region also collect allocation from tax paid by the producing company.

The northern Nigerian practice witchcraft Islam. The states producing beer in Nigeria should hold beer VAT. VAT should stop going to FG to fund witchcraft.

Nothing concern me I dey wire beer 🍺 oo

But but Kano Hisbah are destroying bottles of Beer every week, but still Collecting Revenue coming from it

Hisbah is busy destroying beer belonging to non-Muslims in northern Nigeria. No bigger hypocrites than those people, smh

Hisba were boasting of destroying some trailers of alcohol 🥲

Wahala for northern Nigeria mumus/pretenders😒

Where is Hisbah,,,,,,Lol

Religion is man made.

People that wants the best for their country and hear some state governors are destroying liquor in the name of religion analog people.

Good morning hisbah

Nigeria looks away in horror! Rigid old mof*s! Dubai has left you! Hypocrites.

Hisbah Police in Kano State of Nigeria! This is Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. One of the richest cities in the world in an Islamic Country.
