Outrage over IMF chief not paying taxes on salary | Reports of International Monetary Fund (IMF) president Christine Lagarde not paying tax
on her 350,000 pounds a year salary have caused wide spread outrage. Taxpayers
in IMF member states, including Britain , fund her salary. Lagarde shares her
tax-free status with United Nations diplomats as part of the 1961 Vienna Convention.
"It's utterly disgraceful that these officials can jet around the world telling
others to pay their share, while they live tax free," the Daily Express quoted
John O'Connell, research director of the TaxPayers' Alliance , as saying. "What's
even worse is that it's taxpayers who pick up the bill. Urgent reform is needed
to ensure they practice what they preach," he added.
