Authorities give $2,655 deduction to woman taking witchcraft course

AMSTERDAM - Dutch tax authorities have allowed a woman to deduct the 2,210 euros, or $2,655, it cost her to take a one-year course in witchcraft, an inland revenue official said on Wednesday.

The 39-year actress and artist learnt how to use crystal balls and prepare herbs, and also spells and other witchcraft skills at the course held in the country’s northwest.

“The woman used the training in order to start ... giving workshops, so she used it to extend her professional knowledge,” the tax official told Reuters.

Yeah, I don't get it as news. As far as I know, if you do something for a living, you can deduct any continueing education on that subject. Is it just fun to talk about witchcraft and taxes together?

Its never fun to talk about taxes, and I'm a practicing Wiccan. Maybe it would be more fun if I could collect them. Kind of a Witch-King thing... I could get behind being declared Witch-King, with full right of taxation. Hm...
