Strippers, escort agencies and lap dancing clubs have been told to reveal all to an adult entertainment taskforce set up to chase millions of pounds of unpaid tax
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officials have said that those working in adult entertainment risk major penalties if they are proved to have evaded VAT, income tax and national insurance.
HMRC estimates that some club owners and online escort agencies are earning thousands of pounds a day but hiding the payments from officials. It believes that the internet has spurned a massive increase in online escort agencies that are paying little or no tax.
