Pleasure tax for prostitution
Quote:
Cologne will earn a record 828,000 euros (555,000 pounds) in "sex tax" revenues this year, a figure well above expectations when the levy was first introduced by Germany's fourth largest city in 2004.
Cologne officials, who say their city is a worldwide pioneer in taxing prostitution, were quoted in local media reports on Friday saying the sex tax component of the "pleasure tax" had jumped from 790,000 euros in 2005 to about 828,000 this year.
Prostitution is legal in Germany and sex workers are required to pay tax on their income and a value-added tax.

Useful link for techie help… I know lots of people (myself included) have asked at one point or another "what the hell is a file with .xyz extension, and what do you do with it"
Having done it again today, I thought I'd post the link to the place I go to find out:
http://filext.com/
Almost 23,000 file extensions, so if you can't find a file definition there you can probably safely assume that the file you are seeing is an hallucination, and will go away if you get some sleep...:biggreen:
I think it says a lot about computer programmers that there are 4 files that use the extension .ERM, and one that uses .WTF...:you_crazy
I'm fascinated to know why Apple users get the file extension .BIZZARRELOVETRIANGLE . Apparently something to do with Golden Orchard, but there is no info beyond that.
Can anyone shed any light??? :confused::confused::confused:
