Hawaii Dream Becomes Nightmare
<p>
<p>A contest to win a dream holiday for two turnedsintosa tax nightmare for Swedish student Catharina Modin.</p>
<p> Lured by thoughts of a luxury trip abroad, she entered the competition to devise a Ad slogan and said she would like a holiday in Hawaii, one of several destinations
offered, if she won.</p>
<p> She did indeed win, but instead of tickets to Hawaii, she received a gift certificate worth 20,000 crowns (,920) and a travel brochure, the Swedish daily Expressen
reported Monday.</p>
<p> “When I was going to book my journey the money wasn't enough even for the cheapest Hawaii-trip in the brochure,”Modin, 25, said.</p>
<p> The real shock, however, came later when the Swedish tax authorities informed her she has to pay around 13,000 crowns in income tax on the prize.</p>
<p> “This is completely sick,”said Modin. She has reported the case to the consumer rights ombudsman.</p>
