The EU is a sort of suis-generis cross between a government and an international organization and is very much unlike the US Federal Government. It’s quite standard for employees of certain international organizations not to pay national taxes in the host country, as my other examples show. The reason behind this is simply to avoid certain conflicts of interest and squabbles between member countries over who gets the tax revenue, not some kind of conspiracy against the ‘little people’.
