When I read about how it is hard for escorts to pay tax in Ireland I am confused. I've read things like-
"If sex workers do not pay tax in Ireland , is because our job is not legal in the way to pay the tax."
"Irish escorts do not pay tax on prostitution job. UK escorts pay taxes in their country with the money got from prostitution in Ireland"
Erm. I don't get it. Currently the laws in the UK and Ireland are pretty much the same. It has been my experience that the tax man doesn't give a damn what job title you give yourself once you are paying him his due tax.
I know girls that register as escorts giving them the benefit of being able to claim for condoms so on but the majority would say they were therapists and such like. I feel like if you want to be a legit tax payer you will be. Is the option of being self employed not available in Ireland or something?
Escorting in Ireland is not illegal and in my opinion saying because you are an escort you cannot pay tax is odd. What are your opinions?
