A young student who auctioned off her virginity online for $18,000 could be taxed more than half of her earnings.
German investigators are studying reports that 18-year-old Alina Percea was paid cash-in-hand to have sex with a middle-aged Italian businessman, UK's The Sun newspaper reports.
In Germany, where the Romanian-born Percea is studying, prostitutes are taxed at 50 percent of their earnings.
But, on top of the income tax, the computer studies student may also have to pay GST because she earned so much money in a short space of time.
"If we have hard figures then we can make an accurate assessment," The Sun quoted a German inland revenue spokesman as saying.
“By the time they’ve had half in income tax and some in [consumption tax] she’ll be lucky to have a couple of thousand left for her effort," another German tax expert told the newspaper.
Earlier this week, Percea revealed details to the media about her sexual encounter in a luxury Venetian hotel with the 45-year-old winning bidder.
“I liked the man and got on with him well," she told the Daily Mail newspaper.
“We kissed, then undressed each other … I’d never done that before, so I was nervous.
"He laid me on the bed and started kissing my body, then we had sex … I was attracted to him, so I enjoyed it."
Percea, who had originally hoped to raise $100,000 for the transaction, said she was pleased with the outcome.
"He told me he’d like to see me again, and I agreed," she said. "I hope to see the man again — and next time I won’t make him pay."
They'll be taxing orgasms next the bastards.
