[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diplomats do not pay taxes, neither do non-US citizen World Bank/ IMF/ IADB Staff. Not only that, I remember going shopping with an Embassy friend, long time ago. They do not have to pay sales taxes on their purchases. But kids can attend public school, just like any kid. Not only that, what amazed me was that we had a diplomatic family who just moved to DC (this was a few years back), and the kid got into PK-4 with the lottery, without speaking a word of English. While several long-time, tax-paying, DC residents did not get in. [/quote] My husband is not a US citizen and he pays plenty of taxes. Even undocumented workers pay taxes. They just can’t do a tax return and get anything back—a gift to the US treasury. [/quote]
