I'm moving to Norway...

Yup, here's a reason to move...
Striptease is art like opera or ballet a court has ruled in a victory for nightclub owners over Norway's tax authorities.

The court ruled this week striptease should be treated like other artistic stage shows for which tickets are exempt from value-added tax (VAT).

Tax authorities had demanded more than $159,500 US from the Blue Angel club in Oslo in unpaid VAT, arguing strippers were not artists and so tickets to their shows were subject to VAT, normally 25%.
