    Exclamation one female ecdysiast, drug dealers, celebrities, tax .. "Tax antics laid bare"

    Here is a very interesting article for all of us !

    http://theage.com.au/news/money/tax-...724810576.html

    or you can click ( here )


    From the article....
    Germany, too, had a whole new idea about sex and tax, having recognised prostitution as a profession a few years ago. For with brothel employees ordered to pay taxes, and the Government deciding to lift restrictions on the industry's employers advertising at job centres, this meant unemployed women were being offered work as prostitutes at German job centres that were then obliged to cut the benefits of those who refused to work in the world's oldest profession.
    Glad I'm not in Germany is all I have to say!

    For even if you are temporarily intaxicated with euphoria at just the idea of getting a refund, remember the feeling will only last as long as the moment you realise that it was your money to start with, and they may yet coming knocking at the door to ask for it back, with interest, regardless of any personal or world crisis, for the American Internal Revenue Service employees' tax manual does contain instructions for collecting taxes even after a nuclear war.
    However the last paragraph (the one after the above quoted paragraph) is amusing


    Whilst aimed at an Australian reader-ship, as you can see in the above quotes...there's a little something for everyone. Give it a read.

    Woha! The reporter than didn't do her research properly.... thanks for the heads up. Then how true is the rest of the article? Is it meant in jest due to the urban myth in it ?

    Actually, according to a German friend, this issue remains technically unresolved. As prostitution is a legal business in Germany, and as German 'unemployment agencies' are treating job openings for prostitutes in a manner different than job openings for other legal businesses, operators of prostitution businesses are now seeking a tax exemption based on the theory that they should not be required to pay for gov't services/benefits which they are not receiving.
