The Artist Tax Exemption scheme is one of the key benefits Artists can avail of in Ireland. However it only applies in certain circumstances depending on considerations such as the type of work the artist produces and its value.

Our advisors help clients to better understand their entitlements, ultimately allowing them to focus more on their work.

Some arts organisations qualify for charitable status depending on whether or not they have objects that are deemed to be charitable. Charitable status can offer certain tax exemptions and benefits to organisations, based on the nature of their purpose and contribution as an entity.

As with the Artist Tax Exemption scheme, our advisors understand the criteria and eligibility for charitable status having worked with organisations in the Arts and Entertainment sector for over two decades.

When it comes to operating as a business, artists have a number of choices whether it be sole-proprietorship, through limited lability partnership (LLC) or as a corporation.

The nature of the structure depends on the nature of the work. HLB Ireland provides bespoke, strategic counsel to artists to identify the structure that works for them, and delivers the best return for their income.

Having an effective and sustainable financial plan is important for any business, but particularly for those in the Arts and Entertainment Industry where project scope can range considerably depending on the nature of the artist’s work among other factors.

We work closely with our clients to develop long-term solutions that are dynamic but robust, ensuring the artist is protected for the future and maximising their financial potential.

HLB Ireland can also support with R&D business process management and liaising with key stakeholders including state bodies, and regulatory authorities within the sector.
