22.06.2023 | 10:00 - 11:30 am
Online via Zoom

with Felix Sodemann (Touring Artists)

In this workshop we will dive deep into the world of taxation of performing artists in Germany. First, we will deal with status issues: When do artists have to be employed, when can they be self-employed? Then you will learn how income tax works for employees and self-employed, with a special focus on "hybrid" workers who regularly work in both statuses at the same time. For the self-employed, there is an overview of sales tax in Germany, including information on possible exemptions (such as the small business regulation). At the end, there is an outlook on what you need to know regarding international taxation when it comes to activities abroad.
