Shame
Under Schandlohn means the fee that for sexual intercourse and other sexual performances in the context of prostitution is paid. For once the terms have been in Germany harlot or prostitute's wages used.
Development of the term
Since prostitution is fundamentally on the verge of legality, there was for a long time no legal recourse for prostitutes against shameful cheating. Even Karl Kraus mocked himself in the 1900s about what he believed to be immoral jurisprudence about the shame wages.
Austria
The Supreme Court decided in 1990 that the payment to prostitutes was absolutely null and void (OGH SZ 62/123). Only in a decision from 2012 did the Supreme Court say that prostitution is not immoral per se (Supreme Court April 18, 2012 3 Ob 45 / 12g). Since then, legally registered prostitutes have had the opportunity to claim their wages.
The disgraceful wages as income from prostitution are subject to income tax according to the case law of the VwGH (VwGH November 30, 1987, 7/14/0165 = VwSlg 6263F / 1987), and also subject to sales tax .
Germany
In Germany, pay for prostitution has been regulated in the Prostitution Act since 2002 . According to this, the prostitute has a legal claim from the prostitution contract to the agreed remuneration.
