You will get NOTHING like those wages here, unless you are very lucky and work for an offshore or foreign company.

Which wages ??

Hi AnastasisC

If your friend is working for £300 per month is is receiving less than the minimum wage and is being employed illegally. The minimum wage here is (approximately) £350 p. Normally 13 months' salaries are paid, no tax is paid because this is below the £10,000 threshold and SOMETIMES the employer will pay the employee's 6.2% Social Insurance contributions.

I pay my Cypriot employee 13 months' salaries and others twelve!
(everyone is ahppy as they are all paid well above the norm, here).
