LAP dancers must pay VAT on their earnings from customers, a High Court judge ruled yesterday.
The clubs where they perform are not liable for VAT, Mr Justice Mann said. He upheld an appeal by Spearmint Rhino Ventures, which operates a chain of “gentlemen’s clubs”, against a VAT tribunal decision that the firm was liable.
He said the services in question were when a dancer provided private dances for a customer. “A fee of £10 is charged for a semi-nude dance; £20 is charged for a nude dance,” the judge said. “In addition to those services, the dancer and customer can agree what is called a ‘sit down’.”
David Milne QC, for Spearmint Rhino, told a hearing in January that the dancer has to pay the club for use of the facilities; there was no contract between the club and her customers. Mr Justice Mann said the dancers ply “their self-employed trade at the club in their own right”.

I have more respect for the average (OK, the hot) lap dancers than most politicians.

What about taxes on the college tuition paid for by Jesse (the adulterer) Jackson? Or is he only paying for strippers who are black and lie about being raped?

good thing this can't happen in the US:
24th amendment:
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State by reason of failure to pay poll tax or other tax.

I have more respect for the average (OK, the hot) lap dancers than most politicians. My guess is that all of the fat ones are working at a club in near BJ's house in Chappaqua.
