In Bonn , Germany , where prostitution is legal , hookers pay a “ prostitution tax ” to a slate machine in monastic order to have gender for monies . The fee is 6 euros ( or $ 8.65 ) and photograph out a reception to make the occupation functionary .
The machines were just installed and is very interchangeable to the one you see these sidereal day that take parking money . Over the first weekend , the machines collected $ 382 worth of taxes . That ’s , um , a lot of work justly there . consort to the young law of nature , street prostitutes must pay the tax when they work between 8:15 necropsy and 6:00 AM . After one monition , a floozie working without a ticket will be fined $ 145 . ‘ Spensive ! !
I guess from the government ’s view , if you ’re gon na permit it , you might as well tax the shit out of it . Each Siemens - built just the ticket machine costs $ 11,575 to install . I ’m thinking they ’ll make their money back in no time . [ NY Times ]
