EU to force Sex Workers to charge VAT on services

[Danny2011]

EU are set to force member countries to collect VAT (Value added tax) from services provided by sex workers.

An EU directive from 2016 forcing governments to collect this VAT has been largely ignored in most EU countries as it was considered too difficult to enforce but this directive became EU law in October 2018.

A unnamed source in the Irish revenue commissioners said "this is a tax we are legally compelled to collect now and with Brexit tension in the EU Ireland can no longer be seen to ignore this tax"

Tax rate on services in Ireland is 13.5% and revenue commissioners will require Sex workers who have not been charging VAT on services since October 2018 to charge VAT from now on.

It's 13.5% but for an out call will it be more espicealy if she supplys ppe gear and miscellaneous items it go very easily go in to the higher bracket 21% as it could be classed as a supply and fit service so the ladies on this site would want to have good accountants and busier one maybe go as a ltd company

Yes. Remember Capone was jailed for tax evasion. Tax is due on all income unless exempt.

you may but not on this escorting business as you can't pay tax on a business that not regulated, your self assessment return would make very interesting reading jessica.
It should be all regulated as its a job like any other
