Artist Exemption Scheme Tax Recovery A certain proportion of royalty income earned by songwriters and composers may be exempt from tax in Ireland under strictly defined circumstances through the Artist Exemption Scheme (subject to individual circumstances, assessment and clearance by the Revenue Commissioners).
Section 195, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 empowers the Irish Revenue to make a determination that certain artistic works are original and creative works generally recognised as having cultural or artistic merit.
See http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/reliefs/artists-exemption.html
Reclaiming Overseas Tax (e.g. Royalties etc) Many IMRO members have overseas earnings from sources such as per formance royalties, which may be taxed as much as 35%.
