One could build a case for the payor merely renting a tool........ie the appendage......and therefore the recipient would avoid self employment taxes............. One of the favorite topics when I got out of college, had a job with a large CPA firm, and would spend the necessary time keeping the local bars in business while boosting employee moral.............was..............if one had a house of prostitution for a tax client, how would one establish the basis for depreciating all of the useable thingys?? Would those thingys be depreciable? Is there a useful life? How long? Would the depr be rapid or slow......like a tractor vs a bldg?? Would there be a case for using piecework as the basis for calculating deprec, as compared to tabular?? etc etc By 9pm.........given the circumstances........and a high level of intelligence among that particular group..............some of the scenarios were just really interesting.
