I have worked in various clubs over the time I have worked as a lap dancer.
Most clubs (here and abroad) don't have a contract in place, you just get given your rota, and pay 20-50% (depending on the night) of what you earn, to the club. You are self employed. There has never been much paperwork, but I do mock invoices for my tax return.
I have started working at a new club in Manchester now I have started back at Uni, and they want to pay me £10 per hour as an employee (including employment contract!) and the cash from stage and private dancers is pooled and allegedly split.
Obviously I am worried about my earnings etc and how my dance money will be paid. Would it be considered a 'bonus' - and is that taxable? I suppose this way I won't have to do my own books and pay tax?
