Art, Creative & Media Clients
We act for many clients in the art, creative and media sector. These include artists, art galleries, musicians, entertainers, journalists, writers and related trades.
Besides our range of standard services, we provide specialist help for clients in this sector to deal with their financial affairs.
Here are some of the areas on which we can give specialist tax advice to you:
- How best to structure your business: self-employed or limited company?
- Avoiding employment status in the provision of services
- Obtaining refunds of tax withheld from pay for irregular lecturing or academic engagements
- Accounting and VAT treatment of commission arrangements with art galleries and other distributors
- VAT aspects of international copyright royalties and other services for overseas clients
- Tax issues arising for foreign entertainers (e.g. UK withholding tax)
If you are in the creative sector, you will need specialist advice to avoid the expensive traps and pitfalls that exist.
