The Swedish Tax Agency is returning 42,000 kronor to the woman ordered to pay tax on income from sex work in Ångermanland. The move follows her husband's conviction for gross pimping.
In April the woman paid 42,000 kronor in tax after the Tax Agency classified the income as hobby activity. She appealed the decision and stated she had been forced by her husband.
The man in his 60s was sentenced in mid-June by the district court to four years and five months in prison for gross pimping. The verdict also covered other crimes including assault and unlawful threats.
The Tax Agency has now withdrawn its demand. It states that it has reviewed new documents regarding the taxed incomes.
