After all these years, I have seen the light, and it is down under! Partsy, I am emigrating!
Australia makes adult toys tax deductible
May 8, 2006
SYDNEY, Australia -- The Australian Taxation Office has issued a list of deductible items for the sex industry Friday that included adult toys and lingerie.
Prostitutes, strippers and lap dancers can deduct the costs of condoms, lubricants, gels and oils against tax, according to a fact sheet released this week on the office's Web site.
Deductions cannot be claimed for fitness classes to keep them in shape, but the tax office ruled they can claim the cost of dance lessons.
"You can claim the cost of replacing or repairing things like equipment, adult novelties and other apparatus used in your work," the office advises, under a section titled "tools of trade."
