WOMEN at Oxfordshire's only lapdancing club will now have to pay money to the Government on every penny they earn from dances.

Last week, High Court Judge Mr Justice Mann ruled all lapdancers must pay VAT on their earnings.

Ashley Brown, owner of Cassiopeia in Broad Street, Banbury, said lapdancers pay to work at the club, but can take home earnings made from dances.

He added: "They are not very happy about it but accept everyone has to pay VAT."

The club has about 30 women on its books.
