Diplomatic status. A distinct framework, many exceptions.<\/em> <\/h1>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Diplomatic and accredited personnel of missions and representative offices. The Vienna Convention and headquarters agreements govern your tax status, but they do not cover all of your income or all of your obligations. We coordinate your tax matters with your mission and in accordance with applicable regulations. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
