Funny: Goverment official advices Santa Claus on tax payment
 |
A man dressed Father Frost, the regional version of Santa Claus, pose for a picture in Independence Square in Kiev December 30, 2008. |
Funny? Isn't it. Santa Claus may have to start paying tax in Ukraine. Ukraine on Wednesday reminded entertainers making money by posing as Did Moroz - the local version of Santa Claus - and his helpers to pay income tax.
While studying internet advertisements, the state tax service found out that a Did Moroz with a traditional female Snihuronka (Snow Maid) helper would earn 250 to 3,500 hryvnias ($30 to $440) per hour in capital Kiev this season.
"Such citizens will need to file forms and pay taxes," the tax service said in a statement.
The service said it
was barred from conducting tax checks on small businesses but urged
ordinary Ukrainians to report tax-dodging Santas.

Usain Bolt's British girlfriend walks away after family introduction
THE British office girl who captured the heart of Olympic champion
Usain Bolt during the Games has ended their romance… because he lives
too far away.
Megan Edwards, 22, split from the world’s fastest man after he flew her to Jamaica to meet his family.
The down-to-earth accounts worker decided that the 4,600 miles between her and the smitten sprinter was too much to handle, and she wouldn’t be able to handle his globe-trotting lifestyle either.
Devastated Usain, 26, begged her to change her mind, but Megan revealed: “In the end I had to let my head rule my heart.
“It was amazing out there, but that’s where I decided it couldn’t go on. He was talking about having to fly here and there and I was going back to my office job.
“So when I got home I rang him and told him it wasn’t going to work. I said the distance thing and not seeing him often enough was a problem for me.
“He was very upset and said ‘Don’t do it, what can I do?’. I told him, ‘There is nothing you can do... you are who you are’.
“I am just a normal girl and I know people say, ‘You would have been fine with it’, but I wouldn’t. If I was a celebrity then our relationship probably would have lasted longer.”
Junior athlete Megan caught the eye of the 100m world record holder when she was chosen to model Jamaica’s team kit for the Games and appeared on a catwalk with him.
