Pimp Tax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pimp Tax is an informal but widespread term for a piece of United States Congress tax legislation introduced to the Senate Finance Committee on June 28, 2006 by Republican Senator Charles Grassley of Iowa. According to Grassley[1][2], the bill is intended to curb sex trafficking and sex slavery in the United States by means of strict enforcement of tax laws, for example by requiring a W-2 form be filed for each prostitute managed by a pimp or other employer.
The American Internal Revenue Service has been used in the past to target criminals, most famously Al Capone.
