Post by one eyed jack »

saw this on the news today and found this outrageous...Is it not bad enough the girls rinse you out of 300 quid then you have to pay extra for the VAT!

Tis ok, I heard a certain agent gets 50% commission on some escorting jobs.

I can't believe it! The girls take all the risks and this fat cow sits on her arse charging 50%!! Pimping pays well it seems..........

A pimp ripping people off? Good Lord, whatever next? Women getting the vote? A woman PM?

Seriously Gordon Brown would tax going for a dump if he could! He has sneaked in so many extra taxes it beggars belief.

Actually it was a court case involving HMR&C and SpearmintRhino

HMR&C argued that the club should pay VAT on the amount the girls earned. The club argued that the girls were self-employed and that, should any of them be registered for VAT, that HMR&C should ask them for the money.

Clubs pay VAT on the house fees and commissions they take off the girls, but suggested it wasn't their job to pay VAT on the money the girl's took home.

It was an appeal hearing and the club won... so no, strippers are not suddenly going to charge you VAT for your lapdance!

So the end result will be a VAT after-tax for the girls?

No, the end result is that the club continues to pay VAT on their income as before and don't have to pay VAT on the money the girls take home... as it always has been.

Why don't you learn how to read!

Yes, I can read. But don't think the tax service is that easily defeated!
You know the Beatles song?

"Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street,
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat.
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat,
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet.

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me."

Well quoted M.A.D, Old Bob was almost rude to you there, I suspect he's menopausal(sp) before he gets it in.
