Tax ticket machine
A converted parking ticket machine in Bonn is known as a tax ticket machine , which since August 2011 has been issuing a tax ticket against payment of cash (6 euros) that entitles a prostitute to work. The ticket is valid from 8.15 p.m. to 6 a.m., regardless of the number of services.
The machine was set up on a site owned by the city. On this performance area on Immenburgstrasse, there are also six performance boxes with wooden walls as partitions, within the limits of which the prostitutes and their clients can pursue the trade. Two smaller containers are part of the equipment of the site; there are sanitary facilities and a lounge for a security guard.
The use of the tax ticket machine is mandatory for street prostitutes; prostitutes in brothels are taxed in other ways. The municipal tax office wants to carry out checks and warnings , fines and dismissals enforce the tax ticket duty.
When using the machine, the prostitute is no longer required to submit a daily tax return; but does not release them from income tax liability . Another advantage of this procedure is that traders can maintain their anonymity while at the same time complying with tax obligations. The offer was very well received; in the first year the city took 35,200 euros from the machine.
The city of Cologne introduced a sex tax back in 2003 , but did not set up a ticket machine for it.
