    Teenager Alina Percea to lose half virgin auction payment to tax bill

    A TEENAGE student who auctioned off her virginity in Germany is set to lose half the money to the tax office, with authorities claiming the act was "tantamount to prostitution".

    Romanian-born Alina Percea, who studies in Mannheim, was paid $17,900 in cash for a weekend of sex with an Italian businessman after auctioning her virginity online.

    But tax officials in Berlin regard the 18-year-old's act as prostitution, which is not illegal in Germany but is heavily taxed.

    "It is not a moral standpoint but a fiscal one," an official said.

    "Consequently we are assessing her case and it looks likely she will have to pay around half of the sum she gained."

    The computer studies student's visa allows her to work in Germany for 90 days even as a prostitute.

    But one tax expert admitted: "Prostitution is merely a means for the bureaucrats to pin her down for a claim.

    "She would have been better off keeping quiet about this strange transaction."

    Because Percea earned so much in a short time, she may also be liable for a hefty GST bill.

    GST in Germany works out to 19 per cent, meaning the sale of her virginity could land her with around $6100 in the end.

    Percea had told how the 45-year-old businessman took her virginity with unprotected sex at a luxury Venetian hotel.

    "I liked the man and got on with him well . . . and next time I won't make him pay" she said.
