    Dizzy Paying taxes as an escort in Canada? And limitations on travel

    Hi there, I want to start paying taxes so I can put money in the bank! And build credit, save for the future, all that fun adult stuff.

    Im not sure how to go about this as an escort in canada. Has anyone done this before? I'm assuming you would obtain a business license as a sole proprietor.

    I have heard of one local Ontario escort who filed as a full service sex worker. Unfortunately she is now no longer allowed to travel to US or certain other countries, where prostitution is illegal. Does anyone have any advice on how to prevent this? What would I file as? Non sexual companion? I have a feeling that would still be suspicious.

    Lastly....how to avoid being audited or pass an audit? I'm afraid of being a business and messing up my records, then getting hit with 20k of charges.

    Get a sex worker friendly accountant. I will PM you a recommendation from a friend who escorts/does massage. She will be able to walk you through keeping good records, filing, audits, and any other questions you have about paying your taxes as an escort.

    I'm not sure how much this is enforced but the prime minister recently passed a law where the selling or buying of sexual services is now illegal. So please look into this because I'm pretty sure it's no longer legal.You can't file taxes on illegal income. I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I work in the field so not a layperson either.
    I'll let you know if I find more info but this is all I have for now.

    ^Not quite. Bill C-36 outlawed the buying, but not the selling of sex. It also prohibits profiting from the sale of sex (ex. running an agency) and third-party advertising (meaning you can advertise your own sex work). This means that an escort's income is legal and she is, of course, expected to pay taxes on it.

    Not sure about Canada, but in the US you do have to pay income tax on income, illegal or not. (1930's gangster Al Capone, went to jail for tax evasion, all the marijuana dispensaries pay federal income tax on every dollar taken in - The business may be legal in their state, but still illegal by federal law.)
