New York court rules private lap dances not tax exempt
6/10/2011
NEW YORK, June 10 (Reuters) - A private lap dance is not tax exempt, a New York court has ruled after a gentleman's club near the state capital of Albany claimed the service was a tax free "dramatic or musical art performance."
In New York state a sales tax must be paid on admission to or for the use of any place of amusement except for dramatic or musical arts performances.
Nite Moves of Latham, New York, owned by 677 Loudon Corporation, has been fighting a 2005 audit by the New York Division of Taxation, which found that the club owed nearly $125,000 in sales tax on door admission charges and private lap dance sales.
