Atlanta Escorts: Of Stripping and Taxes
Posted on August 28th, 2009 in Atlanta escorts
Some people say there’s no such thing as a free ride in this world, and while that is almost universally true of escorts, occasionally strippers fall under the radar. Then again, sometimes they don’t. All depends on how expensive the ride should have been.
In this case, the ride was over $2 million. A stripper working in Montreal, Quebec in Canada developed a relationship with a very old, very rich customer. Apparently it wasn’t even seedy or nefarious, he just really liked her and bought her stuff in exchange for her keeping him company – no dancing or sex involved. He was just an old, lonely dude and she was a hot, younger woman more than willing to spend time with him. He bought her a Corvette, 8 fur coats, cash for a BMW, jewelry and vacations, $168,000 in $1,000 bills to put a down payment on a house and enough money to buy her own bar so she could stop dancing. And it was all gifts.
Then along came Revenue Canada, kind of like the IRS only with more beaver involved, and said she owed $600,000 to account for her lack of income yet lavish lifestyle over the several year period in which the dancer’s rich benefactor was paying her way. And the dancer said “fuck you.”
The case went to court and, lucky for the girl, gifts are non-taxable in Canada. So Revenue Canada was told to suck it by the judge. The government of Quebec is still going after her for the money but, ya know, since it’s a law that you can’t tax gifts and she already won at the federal level, it’s not bloody likely they’ll be successful getting anything from here there either.
Apparently it’s quite common for this to happen, seeing as the government never wants to believe anyone gets gifts ever and thoroughly hates the idea of missing out on potential tax money, and strippers are often caught up in the bullshit red tape of trying to prove their case.
