My sister is a Sugar Baby

@BMW6 But she bought a flat with that money. How was that possible if it should have had tax paid on it?

Well, that would have been easily done. I had extended relationships which included many of the nice facets of a relationship, including having sex.

I used to deal with their accounts and tax assessments SurprisedWithAHorse

Not all the ladies declared their professions of course - we used to visit the local Red Light area under surveillance and "make enquiries" .

As I outlined above, if we had no record of them they'd be called in for interview.
If no response we'd start issuing estimated assessments to get the ball rolling.

Any income, from anything, whether a legal activity or not, is liable to income tax. It's just a question of finding them.

I agree. I thought the responses on that thread were ridiculous. If the sister was doing coke and dealing with vulnerable people (some of whom would have addiction issues) I thought that was highly reprehensible. I also feel for the OP on this thread and think that her sister is highly naive at best, but I don't get the double standard either.

Do they? Do you have a link? Not being snarky, I was very much under the impression that most women selling sex are not educated, middle class call girls earning thousands a night from rich men and in any position to be declaring it to the taxman, even if they are the ones who get the salacious book and TV deals. Am I wrong?

Not illegal to have as many boyfriends as you like of course - but being paid for sex makes it income from a Trade or Profession.

You were a tax evader. If you had been subject to an enquiry you would have had to prove that income WASN'T in exchange for sex - you are not "innocent until proven guilty" under tax law.

BTW illegality isn't relevant in any way.

Hi I am concerned she may be having mental health struggles there is a situation of safe sugar babies etc. But this isn’t it from what I know from experiences. Her quitting her form of work for it is incorrect just check her health is okay and she isn’t stealing - thanks

enough smarts to get a nice corporate job

Funniest comment on here.

Most professional sex workers pay tax.
But nice assumptions.
HTH.

These gifts ... do they include bags .... and presents to take abroad for a friend? .....

Way back in the 1970's we used to call Prostitution "Furnished Lettings" on tax assessments at HMRC

Obvious name change for this but at about the same time I did something similar. I didn't pretend I wasn't having sex though but it was with the same 2 or 3 men over 2 years so not really any different to using a dating app (for me).

I maintained my professional job, didn't get any filler, didn't take drugs, did drink and eat a lot (in a lot of nice places). Didn't need reporting HMRC because it's not actually illegal to have a rich boyfriend (or two).

I had about 3 grand a month. Saved a lot of money. Brought a flat in London. Got married, had a child and lived happily ever after.

It was significantly nicer dating rich men than the absolute dross I was dating. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

So a grown woman with agency (and enough smarts to get a nice corporate job) earns money in an unorthodox way, and people think that it’s any of their business?

They’re called finidoms

however women must be careful. It’s an addiction just like gambling for the men and can ruin entire lives. I met a man who lost everything due to this and whilst it’s not the woman’s fault. I couldn’t live with myself knowing I helped make someone homeless etc.

In real life I have never ever met anyone like this.

How would you know?

Free travel is likely to be as a drugs mule. This carries the death penalty in some countries. I remember two young Australians being executed in, I think, Malaysia. Your sister sounds naive enough to be used this way. Her ‘fans’ will disappear if she’s arrested.

Aren't these women known as 'rinsers' rather than sugar babies?

Is she posting lots of pictures of herself prancing around in her underwear or on Brighton beach with her tits hanging out of her bikini (even in November) on Instagram? So sad.

That's not being a sugar baby and there's much less demand for it. But it does exist and someone somewhere must do it well.

Can I ask what you were being paid for then, in gifts etc, if there was no sexual element at all?

But yes she shouldn't be givng out her home address!

There used to be a lot more people defining their occupation as 'solicitor' than the Law Council had on their books. I imagine that people describe themselves as 'holistic therapists' or 'life coaches' these days.

@Justcallmebebes 😂

Ok, a massive element to "sugar baby" stuff is that they DON'T put out ie have sex. There is a massive draw to men (and some women I guess) when a woman doesn't automatically have sex - it's a game. They think the more they spend/gift, the more the chance they might "snag" the sugar baby and win them over. It's a big game. In my home country this is quite a known thing, and everyone involved knows that the woman/younger woman/teenager is very "no, I will not have sex with you....but....maybe?", so it's very popular as a concept with older men. They don't seem to mind gifting and spending at all. And if yuor sister is aware, and agreeing, she's an adult.

I was a sugarbaby when I was younger. I'd still do it now if I had the energy-It isn't easy! I never had sex with any of them.

I don't blame you for being worried as it sounds as if your sister is quite naive? I never gave anyone my address and I am pretty savvy-of course there are always dangers but I trusted myself and had a good sense of what I was doing. And it doesn't seem as if your Sister is the same?

I have seen women like this on documentaries. Average looking women who are massively made up.... hair extensions, botox, collagen, fake tits, turkey teeth, high heels, skirt up to their vulva etc etc.

They claim that men come up to them in the street and hand over the keys and the ownership of their £70K mercedes to them. In addition, they buy them a 2 bed apartment in the city, and whisk them off to Rome/Paris/Stockholm etc for a romantic weekend. They wire £1000 two or three times a week to them too, to get some new clothes or perfume or make up.

In real life I have never ever met anyone like this. A woman like this, or a man like the ones they claim spend tens of 1000s on them.

It's all so weird.
