A G-4 visa holder is exempt from ALL taxes on income earned in his primary job.
He MAY be liable for taxes on stock transactions, however; it depends on the tax treaty between the U.S. and his home country. If the spouse of the primary G-4 visaholder gets permission to work and does so, that salary is fully taxable. |

No one says tax policy is fair. |
