\"Copy-of-Stripper_on_a_Pole_svg\"<\/a>It’s true exotic dancers perform an important service to their customers, but can anyone call it \u201ctherapeutic\u201d? That’s what one Manhattan strip club claimed when trying to finesse their way out of a hefty tax bill. In an attempt to skirt $3.1 million in state taxes, the strip club claimed its dancers were providing therapy<\/a> to customers, and not just entertainment.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Daily news<\/a>, the owners of the Penthouse Executive Club unsuccessfully argued that they shouldn’t have to pay taxes because its dancers provided services not unlike a massage therapist or a sex therapist. The owners told a state tax tribunal, \u201cwhat is provided in its clubs is not entertainment, but rather a non-taxable service similar to a therapeutic massage conducted in a sensual manner or personal services provided by a sex therapist.\u201d Unfortunately, the tribunal didn’t agree\u2014but maybe that’s because they don’t frequent enough strip clubs?<\/p>\n

Looking for some good relief yourself? The personal services we provide here<\/a> is definitely worth a million bucks!<\/p>\n
