So long as the person declares their taxes, I'm cool with no fee at all.

I remember when i was getting my stripper liscence it was some ugly ass picture, running around getting a police check its not like they have anything to check for a criminal record it said unfortunately there is nothing to be found on my record when it should say congraulations i am a law bidding citizen.

Then sitting in line for the stripper liscence, then of course nights and nights on end trying to get hired by a club, just because you get the liscence does not mean you get hired into a club, plus there is the club fees on top of the stripper liscence as well.

Plus the racism that happens in a club as well its not like yea you get a liscence your graunteed to make a dime after all that up front cost. or have some where to report any problems you have in a club.

Independent escort licenses in the city of Edmonton are just over $1600 per year. Victoria I think in the $200 range, but not sure. In the case of Edmonton, Calgary etc, the license fees are a minimum of 10x higher than any other business license sold. Unless the sp works out of a masage parlour or agency, then the fee in Edmonton is a more reasonable $200/year, but they can't advertise and work independently without the higher cost license.

Also, the bylaw enforcement is aggressive. While it is similar to a parking ticket, the fines for working without a license in Edmonton are in the neighbourhood of $2000 per incident. Drivers can also be fined unless they have some sort of license.

I can't imagine any city would throw out the work already done by other cities, but it is probably they way they will do it. Try to reinvent the wheel when the wheel is already attached to the car. Ontario already has a number of massage parlours with their already existing body rub parlour or adult parlour licensing. Ridiculous to think they need to re invent another and new licensing.

I think there is an agency owner in another story saying she will be poised to open a brothel next year. She gave me the impression she is well aware of the licenses already available, already has the appropriate one to run her agency and the city is going to have a hard time stopping her unless they remove the existing license options.

i know i know, it's not like any other business but as per riley's story, it's just like any other licencable occupation, a licence doesn't guarantee you work.....or talent for that matter....

geez, i remember back in the day strippers were driven around in limos and could make $3000 a night......i guess with the amount of women willing to get naked for money, supply outweighed demand......i have to tell you though, back then when you went to an sc, the women were HOT, no average or uggos in sight.....now? you can easily find some women who would get a 2 in the ssg thread on stage asking for tips......

And that is the crux of the apostrophe right there ladies and gentlemen.

I had to go to Staples the other week. They checked my license when I bought a stapler to ensure it was going to do the job it was intended for. It sucks really. Very annoying.

 

[blackram]

maybe a taxi company, but not a regular old cab driver.....if that were true there would be no cabs to be found because while being a cab driver is a decent living, no fricken WAY they earn enough to pay a 100k licence fee and not live in a cardboard box.......

if you read the story, this asswipe wants to charge each escort 15k

It's $100k per car! So you will usually see two or three drivers sharing rent on a car, so the car runs 24 hours in shifts. Sometimes they are coowners sometimes they are leasing from someone.

ok, that's totally different......still extreme but one more, what is the term of the licence? can't be annually.....

no, not every job but many that have ramifacations do. ie: you can't serve alcohol without a smartserv licence/training...you can't drive a bus without a licence for ahem, driving a bus, can't drive an ambulance without an appropriate licence. Being an escort has health risks therefore they should be licenced....

You can't buy a stapler without a stapler license and without proper training and a first aid course.

Don't know that information, I just remember asking a taxi driver once about it, and my jaw dropped on hearing that number. I'm not sure if it's for a year, or if it's a fee for a certain number of years, or forever. This is the only thing I could find out about it: . But I could not find what the duration of it is.

I know that SP's are thinking that if they go legitimate, then they will only be expected to pay income taxes. But income taxes are only collected by the federal and provincial govts, and the municipalities don't get a cut of that. So the municipalities are going to want to get their cut with these licensing fees. Income taxes are to some extent "feel" like they are affordable, since they're collected spread over a long period of time, and they are based on a percentage of your income. But municipalities tend to collect their taxes and fees quite suddenly, and it makes them look really large and unaffordable. Of course, if income taxes were collected in the same way, then we'd be astonished by them too.

Of course when the licenses fees are this high, it's going to mean a couple of things: (1) the people that can afford to pay it, will pay it, buy a lot of licenses, rent the licenses out, and establish a monopoly on the trade; and (2) there are people who will refuse to pay it and go underground (or stay underground). The monopoly will result in unaffordable service, and the people who stay underground will stay more affordable. This will result in a class system within the industry, where some will pay the fee and charge a high rate, and some won't pay and charge a lower rate, and the licensed individuals will vilify the unlicensed as being somewhat lower quality. Looking at the Ottawa taxi industry, this has already happened: it's basically dominated by a monopoly, making the taxi rides unbelievably expensive in this town, and there are also underground taxi services, which the city vilifies as, "bandit taxis".

I wouldn't know, but I would assume so, since municipal property taxes are deductable from your personal income taxes. These are probably business taxes, and would need to be deducted from the business income taxes. I would ask an accountant. Meanwhile, let me go throw up.

I just hope all this talk of taxes, licenses, Nevada style brothels doesn't drive up the cost of an hour with a lovely lady.

Don't know that information, I just remember asking a taxi driver once about it,

ok, so it's just hearsay.......

I looked at a cost analysis chart for running a taxi in ottawa and it stated that "licence, union, stand rent etc" amounted to 9.9% of the annual operating costs with fuel at 50.3%.....so either the fuel costs per year are $500,000.00 or that 100K isn't accurate.......

No, I sent you a link which confirms the $100k figure. It just doesn't say how long it's for.
