The interviewer asks this question to see if you are honest and have integrity. As a tax revenue officer, you may be offered bribes to look past a taxpayer's tax obligations. The interviewer wants to hear that you are ethical and can be trusted if hired.

Focus on an example of a time you had your ethics tested as a tax revenue officer. If you are new to this field, use an example from a previous job or while attending school. Some examples could be witnessing someone cheat or steal something.

Avoid saying you have never had your ethics tested without providing an example of what you would do if they were. If you have never been in a situation where you had to make an ethical decision based on your morals, tell the interviewer that you have not been put in that position and describe what you would do if that happened.

"I had my ethics tested when working as a tax preparer. I had a client who asked me to falsify their tax return so they would get a larger refund. I refused and explained that I could lose my license and go to jail for falsifying documents. I also told them they could go to jail and asked them to find another tax preparer to do their return. I refuse to work with unethical people."
