"In September 2012, Spandow asked for permission to transfer an Oracle employee working in India to California."
Larry Elison is a jerk, and treats all his employees like trash, doesn’t matter where they are from.
As far as I know if you are an Indian working abroad you are considered an NRI (min 6 months) and you dont have to pay taxes to the country of India, as the Indian tax revenue system assumes you are paying the local host country taxes.
This is done to avoid double taxation on the individual where he end sup paying taxes both at home and at the country he is working.
Now if the host country is not collecting tax, that becomes a different discussion altogether. (in India, the tax is deducted from the income directly, not sure how it works in the US)
