A New York court says getting a lap dance isn’t the same as taking in a ballet, so an alcohol-free strip club will have to pay the tax man.
Four Appellate Division justices agree with a decision by a state tax appeals commission that says dances onstage or in private rooms at a suburban Albany juice bar don’t qualify for a tax exemption as “dramatic or musical arts performances.”
The court says that among other reasons, the dancers aren’t even required to have any formal dance training.
