How to get started with prostitution?
Starting for yourself. A step by step plan. 1. Choose a work form. 2. You're an independent business owner if: you determine your own prices, working times and how you work. In this case you register yourself with the Chamber of Commerce as 'persoonlijke diensverlener' and you will be automatically registered for taxes. You are responsible for paying taxes. How you have to do this, you can read in the tax newspaper of the PIC: http://www.pic-amsterdam.com/wordpress/en/files/2014/06/Krant-A3-engels.pdf You're an independent business owner when you are a window prostitute, independent escort, homeworker, in some closed companies and when you work on the street. Not every city or town has the same policies. Look on the website of the city government where you will be working to look up the rules. If you have any problems, or things aren't working out, please contact us. 3. If you work in the company of someone else that determines the prices, working times and how to work, than you're not an independent business owner, but usually you work with an opting-in system. You don't have to register yourself at the Chamber of Commerce. The owner of the company is responsible for the administration and paying taxes. Look for more information about the opting-in here: link A number of rules (and rights) are the same for all work forms: - Your minimum age is 18 years (in some cities 21) - You have to be from a country that's member of the EU - You have to be registered (in most cities) with a Dutch city government - You have to be able to speak (in most cities) Dutch, English, Spanish or German
