German city says 'sex meter' a success
Posted by Anna Arrowsmith at 15:31 on 23 Jan 2012
BERLIN — A German city that introduced a surcharge on street prostitutes via kerb-side meters said Monday the programme had been a success and would continue.
The Bonn government said a "sex tax" covering levies on sauna clubs, "erotic centres" and automated pay stations similar to parking meters that were rolled out in August had brought in around 250,000 euros ($326,000) last year.
"We are satisfied with that and plan to continue levying the tax," a city spokeswoman told AFP.
Bonn authorities said in a statement they had hoped to bring in 300,000 euros in 2011 from the "sex tax" but had later lowered its projected revenue to 200,000 euros based on the amount taken in early in the year.
About 14,000 euros came from the sex meters, it added.
