In 2000, the ban on brothels was lifted, marking a step toward legal recognition. Yet, this so-called progress came at a cost: independent sex workers were pushed further to the margins due to a restrictive licensing system and a narrow interpretation of this law that failed to protect individuals.

This means you do not have to pay 21% BTW (VAT) over your income. But you also cannot get VAT back from items you bought.

You do have to register your income under 'Inkomsten uit overig werk' when filing your yearly Declaration of Income (Inkomstenbelasting).

Wist je dat... je altijd zelf mag kiezen welke kleding je draagt tijdens je werk?
Is dit niet zo op de plek waar jij werkt? Laat het ons weten, en wij helpen je.

If you work opting-in, you may decide your own working hours. But there is a rule about how much you may work.

Sekswerk Meld- en Adviespunt (SMAP) @meldenadviespunt.bsky.social · Aug 26

Uit onderzoek is gebleken dat een vergunningenstelsel niet helpt om de veiligheid van sekswerkers te bevorderen. Sterker nog, deze zal verslechteren na invoering hiervan.

Daarom roepen ook wij de SP op om dit niet door te willen voeren!

PIC Amsterdam @picamsterdam.bsky.social · Aug 21

Schaam je @spnederland.bsky.social! Hoe kunnen jullie sekswerkers in jullie verkiezingsprogramma zo laten vallen?

Wat sekswerkers in Nederland nodig hebben? Rechten! Een eind aan stigma en discriminatie. Decriminalisering van sekswerk, zoals bv in België en Nieuw Zeeland.

The types of violence that are being reported at UMNL have been stable for years.
Often, one report describes multiple types of violence.

That is why the Reporting and Advice Point fights to decriminalize sex work!

Today it is the International Day Against Human Trafficing.
Research has proven that decriminalization works to reduce human trafficking in the erotic business.
