Tax should be paid. Of course.

(Source: OECD website, employment conditions). What is your perspective on this? I find it unpalletable that those advising the rest of us to pay our dues (which is reasonable advice itself) don't have to pay any themselves. Regards Richard R Hi Richard,

How can an oganization such as the OECD have any credibility in tax policy matters when all its staff are exempted from taxes on thier salaries and other passive income.

(Source: OECD website, employment conditions).

What is your perspective on this?

I find it unpalletable that those advising the rest of us to pay our dues (which is reasonable advice itself) don’t have to pay any themselves.

Regards
Richard R
