Friend of mine was a prostitute. She loved that she could get a tax deduction for buying underwear.
You can definitely tax prostitution and many countries do so.
Comment on Why is the world's "oldest profession" still illegal ? Instead of being better managed?

Because it’s difficult to tax.
Almost every single way of making money that does not harm anyone that is illegal is only illegal because the government can’t reliably take shit from it.

No it isn’t. License sex workers, tax them. It’s not different that how we tax hairdressers.

The Dutch managed to tax it just fine. It has the same tax reliability issues any cash payment has.
