Amsterdam Info Escort Prostitution

History of Prostitution

Prostitution has been a part of modern and ancient cultures and is also known as the oldest profession in the world. The earliest recorded mention of prostitution was as early as 2400BCE where temple brothels were operated. It has also been referenced in the Bible and goes to show that the profession is quite old. Right from the historic city of Pompei to the middle Ages, women and sometimes men have practised sex work. Sex work continues today and most times unregulated, hidden. Very few countries have actually legitimized sex work so that workers can be protected.
The Netherlands is one country where prostitution isn’t illegal. Over the years prostitution in The Netherlands has seen as channel to attract tourists due to energetic population.

Prostitution in the Netherlands

It is legal to be a sex worker in the Netherlands and the industry is regulated. There are advantages to being legally recognized as a profession and one is being protected as a tax paying citizen or resident. There are multiple sex workers who have been working in the Netherlands since the 1900s. Prostitution takes various forms here – street, window, escort service, clubs and home-based prostitution. Sex work has been legalised and there are licensed businesses for this so that sex workers aren’t harmed.

Amsterdam and sex work

The city, much like the country, believes in ensuring the safety and independence of sex workers. The regulations have been designed to combat abuses and have healthy working conditions. Businesses functioning actively in the sex industry are required to apply for a license. Getting this license requires a business plan that shows the measure taken for having hygienic and safe working conditions for sex workers along with making provisions for their health and independence. Rental conditions, business administration, supervision and intake also have to be provided for the license. Refer to prostitution information centre for some detailed information about PIC, founder and the procedures.

All entrepreneurs have to register with the chamber too and pay taxes. You need to register with your business and private address along with a trade name and citizen service number.
If you are going to be in business then you would need to perform bookkeeping as well.

This is the Citizen Service Number which you get once you have registered with the BRP or GBA. You will need the BSN for health insurance, opening bank accounts, or when you start a job. You will also need to register with tax authorities for payment of tax liabilities.

Registering the address is a necessity and it is done at the GBA or General Municipal Administration. This is also known as the BRP or Personal records Database.
