Spearmint Rhino tempts accountants

The Spearmint Rhino case about whether or not punters make a contract with the club, or with the dancer (relevant for VAT), is before the courts again.

The case has reminded TS of one of the strangest jobs we have come across in recent times, one that might even tempt the odd accountant or two from number-crunching.

Paragraph 41 of last year's Tribunal judgment reads: 'To avoid any possibility of prostitution or solicitation, [Spearmint Rhino] engages 'mystery shoppers' from a third party firm to visit SR clubs regularly in order to test the dancers are complying with the SR Code of Conduct.'

Outsourcing visits to lap dancing clubs. Sounds like an interesting (personal) service line.
