Sex in Cologne = Better German Economy
Cologne’s sex tax has been a huge success according to a report in the Handelsblatt (business daily) on Friday.
In Germany, prostitution is legal : ) The city of Cologne (Koln) is the only German city so far to implement the so called “sex tax“ It is reported that the city brought in over €828,000 in 2006. In 2005 they brought in €790,000, so I guess you could say that people are having more sex this year!
Prostitutes are required to pay €150 per month, unless they only work part-time. In that case they can opt to pay €6 per day, and as a result, sex workers voluntarily inform the tax office when they are ill or on vacation, the spokesperson said.
LOL, “Sex Workers” It sounds so “socialist” I wonder if they take VAT forms from us Americans!
