gnvqsos Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Prostitutes, like any other section of society who effectively live 'outside of the law', do not work or pay taxes in the manner in which most of us do. So, seeing as they refuse to live inside of the law and pay NI contributions and taxes like hardworking "9 to 5" people, do they deserve Police protection and A&E Hospital treatment as equally (or before those who are 'legitimate' victims of violence, burglary or fraud, etc) as those who do conform legally to society? A bit like those silly s0ds that do dangerous sports then expect the RNLI, Mountain rescue and RN to save them? I think most prostitutes will pay VAT and fool duty. ---------- Post added 05-04-2013 at 08:20 ---------- How can any part of you honestly think that someone who contributes absolutely nothing to society can equally access the NHS and have the same as say a pensioner who has paid tax all there life and maybe fought in wars for us is beyond me . Not all pensioners are the heroes you depict;my mother evaded tax as a cleaner,and neither smoked nor drank,so paid negligible amounts of tax.I am not proud of her behaviour nor am I ashamed.

boyfriday Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 As a senior doctor, I often asked students "What is a doctor's duty to society?" My answer was "None. His duty is solely to his patient" Spot on Dr Fish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 http://www.taxrelief4escorts.co.uk the activities of a prostitute or any other person deriving income from prostitution are organised in such a way as to constitute a trade or profession, the profits are liable to income tax. This was confirmed by the ‘Miss Whiplash’ case, CIR v Aken [1990] 63TC395. They may choose to avoid it, like some tradesmen may choose to avoid it, but I don't see anyone trying to deny all joiners access to health care.
