Paying tax in Ireland as an escort...

[Ebony Amber]

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?

the way i see it is of the escorts that can pay tax most just wont pay tax and some i'd say even claim social welfare and would lose that if they were to pay tax.
i also know that a lot of escorts are here on visa's that would not allow them to work so cant pay tax even if they wanted to.

Like with all cash in hand trades there will always be those that do not pay tax or pay less than they should. If I were to say my tax records over the last 5 years where all accurate I'd be a liar. However for the most part we are allowed and there is always a way.

My main thing is I do not understand the argument that has been previously used (see my first post) that we are not able to pay it! Obviously if someone is here on say a student only visa they are not allowed to work thus cannot pay tax on their earnings.

This isn't me having a bash at ladies who don't pay tax or pay less than they should. I am not angel in any walk of life and peoples finances are not my biz. However I am curious to know if people think escorts cannot pay because in my opinion and experience they can.

Keep the personal shit out of this. It's not about peoples individual situations. If you are happy to openly say you never pay tax then fine but please do not start hassling others and trying to cause arguments. Your intentions are transparent.



Thanks hun.

I understand that. I think a lot of it may be not understanding that there are ways of paying and stuff. Damn when I started I could not even spell self employed never mind know something about it!

I think that most girls if they knew how would pay something even though maybe not a lot lol when they realise it can make life easier. Also it is annoying to think of paying tax when it can feel like the government doesn't give a damn about you x

With all due respect Amber, so are yours

Do tell Stephanie... Apart from trying to start an interesting and engaing disscusion- what are my intentions? Sounds like you know them better than I do!

It sounds like you have an issue with EU citizen Escorts and singling them out for scrutiny.

Erm. Hello my name is Amber and I am an EU citizen. I was simply pointing out that it's easier for EU cititizens , such as myself, to pay tax

Thanks for the thread very helpful for many girls.

I am about to do the same. I was investigating all the possibilities.

For the girls that decide to stay and live in Ireland it can be very helpful.

This is my new target, and getting a kitten.

Just waiting for the winter to go away so i can finish hibernating, and go out of my cave and start working at the "tax project".

Regarding the kittens, i am trying to get one from the shelters. I didn't find the perfect cat yet. I am still looking for chemistry

If they made tax cute and furry I'm sure it would be much more popular!

Also many ladies may not know but if you work from home or rent a place soley for work you can deduct the cost back from tax! In the end you pay very little!
