Sweden targets strippers for tax
BBC News ^ | 10 April 2009 | (no author given)

Posted on 04/10/2009 9:52:10 AM PDT by dayglored

Sweden's tax authorities are seeking the bare facts about webcam strippers' income, estimating that hundreds of Swedish women are dodging the law.

The search involves tax officials examining websites that feature Swedish strippers, in an effort to identify them and chase them for tax returns.

The tax loss is estimated at about 40m Swedish kronor (£3.3m) annually.

Project leader Dag Hardyson said 200 Swedish strippers had been investigated so far. He said the total could be 500.

"They are young girls, we can see from the photos. We think that perhaps they are not well informed about the rules," said Mr Hardyson, head of the tax authority's national project on internet trade.

...

He said the Swedish tax authorities had been tipped off about Swedish internet strippers by the Dutch authorities, who had started a similar investigation earlier.

Web search tools like spiders had failed to detect the Swedish strippers.

"When we investigated the sites manually it worked better," he added.

Identify them? How, by birthmarks and such? This sounds a bit like the "Have You Seen This Prick?" scene in Porky's. Call the police sketch artist!!

Accommodates all sizes, too! Impressive.

I suppose a stripper that can do ribbon cable in one pull would be a gangbang...

Yeah, I bet it did.

Any possibility WE could stare at their pictures? Just to make a reasoned judgment based on all the evidence...

Yeah, I'd imagine that manual investigation probably is more effective. LOL

Why do I get the feeling that someone in the tax office got caught using his office computer to surf for porn, got caught and then claimed that he was “investigating tax fraud” as a cover story? “I only read it for the articles,” was a more credible excuse.

Yep, this definitely calls for hands on investigation.

Yep, although the investigators admitted it was harder that way.
