== Finances == | |||
The College of Prostitution operates on a budget that is reviewed and approved annually by the board of directors. The budget is based on projected revenues and expenses, and is designed to ensure that the College has the resources it needs to fulfill its mission and serve its members. | |||
The largest source of revenue for the College is the taxes and fees collected on the sex trade. These include taxes on the income generated by sex work, as well as fees for permits and certifications required for businesses and individuals operating in the sex trade. The taxes and fees are collected by the College and are used to fund the various services and resources provided by the organization, such as health insurance, legal assistance, and education and training programs. | |||
In addition to taxes and fees, the College also generates revenue from membership dues. Registered sex workers are required to pay dues to the College, which are used to fund the various services and resources provided by the organization. The amount of the dues is determined by the board of directors and is based on factors such as the cost of providing services, the financial needs of the organization, and the overall financial health of the College. | |||
The College also generates revenue from investments and other financial activities. The College's financial assets are managed by a finance committee, which is responsible for making investment decisions and managing the College's finances to ensure long-term financial stability. The committee evaluates investment opportunities and makes decisions on how to allocate the College's financial resources to maximize returns while minimizing risk. | |||
The College also maintains financial records and publishes annual financial reports, which are audited by an independent accounting firm. These reports are made available to the public and to the government to ensure transparency and accountability in the management | |||

The College of Prostitution is responsible for collecting taxes and fees on the sex trade in Caphiria. These taxes and fees are collected to fund the various services and resources provided by the organization, such as health insurance, legal assistance, and education and training programs. | |||
There is a base VAT rate of 30% applied on all prostitution transactions, and additional taxes are levied on the prostitute, the client, and the brothel. This base tax applies to stripteases, peep shows, porn cinemas, sex fairs, massage parlors, and licensed prostitution. The client, in addition to the 30% VAT, must pay a $5 fine, which goes to supplying brothels with condoms, and a $5 tax "per act of prostitution", with the proceeds going to the College of Prostitution. | |||
Prostitutes have to pay income taxes, and because prostitution is primarily a cash business, the Caphirian government initiated a system where prostitutes have to pay their taxes in advance, a set amount per day, to be collected and delivered to tax authorities by the brothel owners. Prostitutes must also pay a monthly $155 registration fee, half of which goes to funding the College of Prostitution. | |||
Brothels must pay operational fees and a 20% revenue tax for each prostitute under its employment. Half of the tax revenue collected from brothels goes directly to the College of Prostitution. | |||
