The headline is totally out of sync with the article. Scientists aren’t even mentioned in the list of those most likely to cheat.
RE: . Scientists arent even mentioned in the list of those most likely to cheat.
They are however mentioned in the article. Let’s cut and paste the relevant portions of the article:
“So who isn’t paying? Scientists, it appears. A recent study looked at tax cheats and found that one of the best indicators of who is likely to try to get around paying their taxes in full is their profession.”
.....
.....
On the other end of the spectrum are scientists, who were on average likely to understate their income by as much as 35%. Journalists didn’t rank very high in tax integrity either.
EDIT TO ADD:
FROM THE LIST:
6) Life, Physical and Social Sciences - chemists, economists, zoologists
I believe those in the above fields are considered scientists.
