Hookers must pay up

Budapest - Hungarian prostitutes will
have to get used to doing more paperwork after a court ruled
they must have a tax number to pursue their trade.
A court in the southern town Pecs rejected a prostitute's
appeal against a $225 fine by the tax authority
and said she should have had a tax number, judge Roza Meszar
told the national news agency MTI.
The claimant, who was unnamed, argued a treaty signed by
Hungary banned the registration of prostitutes, but the court
ruled they still needed to pay taxes, must have a tax number and
an entrepreneur's licence.
