An accountant who understands the work of DJs, musicians and artists
As a DJ, musician or other performing artist, you deal with fees, royalties and sometimes performances abroad. At SMG Administratie you're in the right place for your complete administration.
As a DJ or musician you often have an irregular income pattern: several bookings one weekend, few the next. You may also receive fees via a fee form or invoice, and sometimes royalties via Buma/Stemra or Sena if you produce or release your own tracks. For artists booked from abroad, or who perform abroad themselves, the artist tax scheme (artiestenregeling) may also apply. We know these income streams and help process them correctly in your administration.
Do you sometimes perform abroad? Part of your fee may then be withheld there as foreign withholding tax, which you may be able to offset in the Netherlands under certain conditions. The VAT treatment of international performances also requires specialist knowledge. In addition, your equipment (controllers, mixers, instruments, sound and lighting) and travel costs may be deductible business expenses, depending on your situation.
We work for DJs, musicians and other artists in Zaandam, Amsterdam, Purmerend and across the Netherlands, fully online via our app.
