If you get paid into a UK bank account you are only taxed on the interest you earn, not the entire amount, so that isn't really an issue as long as your routinely shift out any savings that accumulate there (to an offshore account probably).
You can use UK credit and debit cards out here to make purchases and withdraw cash, but your bank may charge (particularly to withdraw cash) and you wont receive the best exchange rate. One option might be to transfer a lump sum across to a Qatar bank account and live from that, but again their may be a fee involved.
With the pound being very week against the dollar at the moment (and for the foreseeable future?) using a UK bank account for your purchases in Qatar makes things expensive (basically everything's gone up ~20% in price in the last couple of months, when you cost it in GBP), so being paid into a Qatar account is probably quite attractive at the moment.
