If sex work is real work, then sex workers should pay taxes like real workers. But a credit is not going to happen, purely for political reasons.

We would tax the purchase of sex work as an extra excise tax, just like for gas, alcohol, tobacco, and coca-cola. We want to encourage people not to spend all their money on these things, because over-indulgence could be detrimental. But you could go the other way and say these are paternalistic sin-taxes.
