More from the article:
Mr Hardyson told BBC News that the strippers could be liable to pay about half of their earnings in tax. Striptease via webcam is quite legal in Sweden, unlike prostitution, he added.

"I don't think they have any costs really - almost 100% of what they earn is pocketed. Many have regular work and this is extra income. We want them to register their activity as a business - it's still taxable, even if it's a hobby," he said.

He stressed the difficulty of identifying strippers, saying the contact information on the websites was often "not obvious".

1. 50% tax rate. That's pretty harsh.

2. They expect these girls to give real contact information out on the internet????

What a bunch of maroons.

Not as harsh as you may think, at least as compared to the USA... No state or local income taxes in Sweden and for better or worse, the Gubment actually pays for a host of goodies - for everyone, not just illegal aliens (like in the USA).
