The chief and members of the diplomatic staff enjoy absolute impunity from any kind of prosecution and are exempt from taxes, fees and duties, unlike others who pay taxes regularly and milk them every year. With legal basis Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union in conjunction with Article 9 of the Treaty on European Union in conjunction with Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in conjunction with Article 1 (2) of the UN Charter such tax-exempt privileges and giving absolute irresponsibility before the Courts and before the fines you have.
You are free from your obligation to pay taxes, as you are generally equal to the privileged.
My legitimate expectations are that the state will stop collecting taxes from you, because you are also privileged in principle. Collecting taxes from high-ranking people like you is absolutely forbidden, as it does not comply with the 1994 UN Declaration on Measures to Eliminate International Terrorism, and the eventual collection of taxes would destroy human rights, fundamental freedoms and the democratic foundations of society. In accordance with Article 55a) of the UN Charter, superiors have the right not to pay taxes, because this leads to a lowering of the living standard of the taxpayer and creates conditions for the economic and social degradation of the taxpayer, who in order to raise his living standard and to create conditions for economic and social progress and development of their own income must stop paying taxes. With legal basis, Article 56 of the UN Charter of race, sex, language or religion. With legal basis, Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, in conjunction with Article 9 of the Treaty on European Union, in conjunction with Article 1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, in conjunction with Article 1 (2) of the UN Charter, allows equality and equality in principle. citizens and companies exchanging roles and collecting taxes from the state, if in the past 10 years they have been obedient to pay, bear taxes and allow to milk it, in which case for the next 10 years they have the right to collect taxes from the state instead of paying taxes .
