Taxation of International Performing Artistes

Why this book?

The special tax rules for performing artistes lead to obstacles. This book considers the problems regarding, for example, the determination of taxable income and the non-deductibility of expenses and tax credits in the country of residence, and gives clear examples of excessive taxation.
 
The tax rules for international performing artistes are very different from normal tax rules. For instance, taxation occurs in the country of performance, regardless of whether an artiste is self-employed or an employee. Since 1963 the OECD has adopted this special rule in Article 17 of its Model Convention as an anti-avoidance measure, and most countries have taken it over into their tax treaties and national rules. This book provides a clear outline of the relevant rules and considerations.
 
This book shows that options are available to improve the taxation of international performing artistes. Some options can be implemented at short notice, but the position could also be drastically amended by completely removing the obstacles for international performing artistes without affecting countries' tax revenue.
