Pretty great if you're a stripper in Norway. Given the reference below, I wonder if you actually qualify for a rebate of some sort if you're a stripper with the skill of a sword swallower? We wouldn't want to over-tax the gifted and talented, after all. ; )
A Norwegian appeals court has ruled that striptease is an art form and should therefore be exempt from value-added tax (VAT).
The owners of the Diamond Go Go Bar in Oslo had refused to pay VAT of 25% on entry fees as tax authorities demanded.The local authority had taken the club to court over its refusal to pay tax.
Lawyers for the club's owners argued that striptease dancers were stage artists just like sword-swallowers and comedians and deserved the same status.
Nice stretch, Dan. or juxtaposition of disparate but desirable attributes....
Hey, that site had a link about a plane being brought down by some fartage. Why didn't Fox do a NEWS ALERT and film it in the sky with lots of talk about terrorism. Pee u.
