You already know that you are unique, but it takes a specialist musician / entertainer accountant to understand the particular tax aspects that can be the difference between you being on the bread-line and leading the chorus-line.
Did you know for example that you can claim allowances that other self-employed individuals cannot?
Allowable expenses
You may be able to claim the following costs as expenses if you are a self-employed performer:
- Costumes and performance shoes purchase and hire
- Cosmetic dentistry / surgery
- Professional fees including agents and booking fees, accountants fees
- Scripts and sheet music
- Portfolio items eg photos, sound and video recordings
And also capital expenditure allowances for longer-lasting tangible items such as:
- Office equipment
- Musical instruments
And a whole host of others, if you know who to ask.
