Jewish law, called halacha, applies to Jews. Halacha is the product of the covenant between the Children of Israel and God made at Mount Sinai. Conversion to Judaism is traditionally described as "accepting the yoke of the law" and non-Jews are considered to be exempt. The Jewish tradition considers non-Jews, and in fact, all humanity, to be bound by an earlier covenant, the "covenant of the rainbow" made between God and Noah after the flood. Close reading of the text leading up to this covenant leads Jews to infer a significantly simpler law code, the Noachide Code, that Jewish tradition says is binding on all people.

Who in the US is exempt from paying taxes?

There are two answers.1.According to the I.R.S., and tax court judges, who are paid by the US government, no one is exempt.2.According to US Income tax law, however, everyone is exempt, except those who have"Foreign earned income".A."Exempt income" - Legally defined in 26 CFR 1.861-8T(d)(2)(ii).B."Income that is not considered tax exempt" follows it in Sec. 1.861-8T(d)(2)(iii) and only includes "Foreign earned income". (Note: Income Not Exempt means taxable)So according to "code", most people are exempt from paying income taxes, unless they earn "Foreign earned income."Notice, According to Uncle Sam at Google, Section 861-8T is the result (and it comes from GPO, Electronic Code of Federal Regulations ... i.e. it's the law).3.

What is an exempt and non exempt employee?

Exempt employees are 'exempt' from federal overtime rules and regulations, based on specific qualifications put forth by FLSA rules. (Executives, professionals, etc.) Non-Exempt employees are paid by the hour, and are subject to federal overtime rules (time and a half, for all hours worked over 40 in a pay week.) All hourly employees are non-exempt, all exempt employees are salaried, but not all salaried employees are exempt. Salaried employees must pass specific FLSA criteria to be categorized as 'Exempt', and therefore exempt from overtime rules.
