veryone is at compensated dating. Even the taxman. Or rather, the tax woman.
The Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Taxation Bureau has imposed a 20% pay cut on a female employee working at a tax office in Saitama Prefecture for working at adult entertainment establishments without permission and receiving payment for it.
This is a moot point, though, since the employee in question has since resigned.
According to the Kanto-Shinetsu Regional Taxation Bureau, the female employee in her twenties worked at five adult entertainment establishments without permission between October of last year and March of this year, earning approximately ¥1.8 million in compensation.
The bureau announced on May 27 that the employee was scouted in Tokyo, after which she started working at five delivery health (call girl) businesses.
She either acquired a taste for such work or found it an easy and palatable source of income, since she was also doing sugar dating (known as papakatsu in Japan) from January of this year. She allegedly dated around 30 men, earning around ¥500,000. Considering the number of men, that’s actually not a large amount of money, so we can assume that some guys just paid her to have a meal with them, while with others she went further (and received better compensation).
Why did she need all this extra money? Does the tax bureau not pay enough to live on?
In quite a familiar scenario, she was reportedly using her dubiously earned side income to fund her “support activities” for her favorite underground idol. A fan will spend money on their oshi (idol you support) by buying tickets for events, paying for meet-and-greets, buying merchandise, and so on. In the competitive underground idol scene, this is the main source of income for members.
We’re curious to know how she was rumbled (not an audit it seems — Jiji Press mentions a tip-off, perhaps from a disgruntled former sugar daddy), but the unnamed employee was penalized with a three-month pay cut on May 25 and she subsequently resigned. Perhaps it was out of shame or because she knew that the pay cut meant there was no longer much point working at the Saitama tax bureau when she can be earning much more through compensated dating.
The head of the Kanto-Shinetsu bureau issued an apology. We’re not sure if the employee was punished for earning an undeclared side income so much as for the adult nature of the income. But as a public servant, there may well be rules against engaging in such legally dubious work.
