security insurance if they earn more than 6 453 EUR per annum. In many cases, the new Law created a situation whereby artists end up making two different types of social insurance payments: statutory insurance for freelance work and any other social security insurance payments which result from other part-time employment contracts they may have. As many freelance artists are employed both part-time and do freelance work, the contribution to the social security system is relatively high compared to total income. There was a change here in 2009, and indeed one that applies for those cases in which additional to self-employment there is a further income: if this income exceeds the threshold of EUR 4 641 (2013, the amount is being adopted annualy) it will also be subject to the obligatory social insurance payments. The Law set up a Social Security Insurance Fund for Artists (Knstlersozialversicherungs-Fonds) which grants artists a pension supplement of up to EUR 130 per month, if their annual income from artistic activity is at least EUR 4 641 (2013) and the sum of all their income does not exceed EUR 23 208 (2013) annually. This amount increases for each child. The pension supplement is based on self-evaluation of future income. If either of the above limits is not achieved, or is exceeded, the supplement has to be paid back. Those artists entitled to receive a grant must meet certain requirements such as being specifically trained (art-university graduates, for example). Others are selected by a specific board (commission). Each year about 4 500 to 5 000 artists receive this pension supplement; about 20% do not reach the minimum level. The new Social Security Insurance System was widely criticised by artists and their professional associations, mainly because of the exclusion of artists on very low incomes. Further demands were to secure obligatory contributions to the fund by the federal government and a supplement not only for pensions but also for health and accident insurance. The reform of the artists' social insurance is among the cultural policy priorities of the new government. Based on the study "On the social situation of artists in Austria", which the Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture commissioned in 2008, and on a working conference following publication in 2009, an inter-ministerial working group has drafted further amendments to the law and proposed measures to improve the situation of artists. Two results have so far been presented: on the one hand, a service centre for artists that offers advice and support for social-security issues has been established. However, this does not provide a "social security under one roof" covering both freelance and directly employed, artistic and non-artistic activities, as called for by the interest-group representatives. The second change concerns the opportunity from 2011 for artists to register their self-employed activity and the resulting obligatory insurance as being idle, so that they have access to benefits from unemployment insurance. The interest-group representatives perceive these measures as a necessary first step to improve the social situation of artists in Austria. However, there is no sufficient concrete progress, and additional claims are drafted under: http://www.kulturrat.at .

break (sponsoring must, for example, be in the form of an advertisement). This regulation only allows for a very small amount of expenditure to be tax deductible; however, plans for the introduction of new legislation, which has long been discussed, have been announced. On the basis of an amendment to the Federal Arts Promotion Act (1988) in 1997, certain public subsidies are tax free, retrospectively to 1991. These include: grants, prizes and supplements from the Austrian Film Institute for promoting the creation of film concepts and screenplays; income and assistance from public funds or from the funds of public or private foundations, as far as compensation for expenditure or expenses is concerned, or with the exception of private foundations for activities abroad. Income up to EUR 11 000 annually is tax free. Income from EUR 11 000 to EUR 25 000 is taxed at 36.50% and income over EUR 25 000 and up to EUR 60 000 is subject to 43.21% tax. Income above this is as before subject to a top rate of 50% tax. Owing to the progressive income tax tariff, it is most favourable if one earns roughly the same amount each year. For creative workers, however, it is normal for incomes to fluctuate greatly. For this reason, since 2000 they have been able to spread artistic income over three years: one third of the surplus of the current year is assigned to the current year and each of the two previous years. Since 2000, artists from abroad have been able to apply for the partial or full cancellation of tax liabilities in Austria that are in excess of tax liabilities in their country of origin if their establishment of residence serves to advance art in Austria and if there is public interest in their work. Since 2002 donations made to museums (to important country-wide private museums, as well as to federal museums) are tax deductible. There are two tax rates under the Austrian VAT Law (1994), one at 20% and a reduced rate at 10%. The reduced rate applies to turnover related to artistic activities, cinema, theatre and concert tickets, museums, botanical gardens or nature parks, as well as services by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation (ORF) and cable TV companies, books magazines and dailies. There is 20% VAT on music CDs.

brought the "Actors' Act", last amended in 1922, up to date. Since January 2011, as the "Theatre Employment Act" (B-ARG), it covers all workers in a theatre company together and envisages adaptation to the Holiday and Working Hours Law. It has been criticised that the law only brings meaningful improvements for actors who are directly employed in the major theatres. As before, for short-term, changeable employment between direct employment and self-employment with intervals of unemployment or without income in the freelance theatre field, no legal security can be created. The fact that the new Law does not include film actors is also criticised, as it does not correspond to actors' professional reality.

copyright and related rights, as well as legal and compulsory licenses provided for in the Copyright Act, will be taxed advantageously. The scheme is applied from January 1, 2008 (tax year 2009). VAT A new VAT system has been in force since 1993, which was the result of a harmonisation of the different systems in the European Union. The VAT system is divided into two rates: a high rate of 21%, and a low rate of 6%. The low rate applies to most cultural objects (magazines, books, original works of art, collector's objects) and services (tickets for productions, copyright). Belgian legislation allows for many cultural exemptions (Article 44, 2, 6-9, VAT Code) including: the hire (renting) of objects of a cultural nature, if these are made available on a non-profit basis; visits to museums, (natural) monuments, botanical gardens and zoos which are not exploited for profit; services by performing artists for organisers / companies provided by actors, leaders of orchestras, musicians and other artists; and the organisation of theatre, ballet or film productions, exhibitions, concerts or conferences by institutions recognised by the competent authorities, provided the income they gain from their activities is used exclusively to cover the costs incurred. Such exemptions mean that there is no right to deduct tax in advance. The exemption for performing artists providing services to organisers / companies was also extended to unions of performing artists such as theatre companies. However, on 1 April 1998, this tax exemption was limited to individual performing artists (Letter no. 13 of the Minister of Finance, dated 19/11/1997). Since then performances which are not given by individuals would become subject to tax at 6%. The scope and application of this new interpretation remains very unclear and local tax inspectors are sometimes confused regarding the allocation of VAT status to theatre companies applying on the basis of Letter no 13. On 24 October 2006 the matter was discussed in the Chamber Commission of Finance. The debate led to the conclusion that: since new legislation is not to be expected in due course, companies can choose the best suitable system. Income tax In some cross-border situations, the Belgium government is allowed to tax the income of non-residents who earn money by working in Belgium. However, this depends on co-operation agreements (double taxation laws) reached with the corresponding countries. For visiting artists, this system can lead to a deduction of company tax from the income which they earn for their performances in Belgium. This tax should be deducted by the Belgian organisers of the performances.

business expenses. Donations made for cultural purposes to associations and other legal entities engaged in cultural activities are not taxed. Donations of up to 2% of the donor's total annual income are recognised as such by law, while donations exceeding this sum must have a certificate issued by the Ministry of Culture. In 2012, the regular VAT rate, which applies to other cultural goods and services, was changed from 23% to 25%. With Croatia entering the EU, the tax rate on books and cinema tickets changed from 0% to 5%; for concert tickets and other cultural events it is 10%, while for e-books it remained at 25%. All newspapers that have valid media statutes are taxed at 5%.

a distribution may be tax deductible either as an unspecified charity, as a distribution for the common good or as a statutory distribution. If it is the latter, then a condition for tax deduction is that the receiver of the distribution is taxed; furthermore, the fund may deduct an amount corresponding to 25% of a year's distribution to the common good for consolidation purposes; and if the economic conditions within a fund disallows the implementation of a project in one go, there is the possibility of setting aside deductible funds for later distribution for the purpose of common good. If the purpose is cultural or artistic, it may be permitted that deposits are made to nonspecified projects that have to be realised within a period not exceeding 15 years. Thus, funds have wider access to tax deduction for grants to cultural activities than private corporations, because there is no tax limit to the amount a fund may give out for sponsorship. Although the Law on Tax Exceptions in the Cultural Field (Act nr. 138, passed by the Parliament, 20 December 2004, see above) has made it easier for private companies to deduct investments in the arts and to donate gifts to public supported cultural institutions, only a maximum of 25% can be deducted for tax purposes, e.g. when a company buys a painting or donates money to a local music school. But funds cannot both deduct donations to cultural purposes according to the Law on Taxation of Funds and then also according to the Law on Tax Exceptions in the Cultural Fields rules of tax deduction for gifts to cultural institutions. VAT exemptions: The Danish rate of VAT on cultural services and goods is 25%; e.g. Books and music CD's are taxed at 25%. But a few exceptions do exist: in the case of a first-time sale of an artist's own works, the artist and the artist's heirs may sell VATentitled works at a reduced price corresponding to 20% of the VAT taxation base (VAT Law 30, 3) inserted through Law No.375 of May 1994); an artist or the artist's heirs, who sell their own works of art for the first time, do not have to register for VAT when the sale does not exceed DKK 300 000 either in the current or the previous calendar year (VAT Law 49, 2, No 2, inserted through Law No 375 of May 1994, changed through Law No 291 of May 2002); on imports of artefacts, the VAT calculation base is 20% of the base applicable for importing from non-EU countries; sports activities and sports arrangements are exempted from VAT - VAT Law No 375 of 1994; cultural institutions, including libraries, zoological gardens etc. are exempt from VAT, including closely associated goods deliveries. The exemption does not include radio and television broadcasts, cinema-and theatre performances or concerts or similar arrangements.(VAT Law 13, 1, No 6, Law No 375 of May 1994); fees received from writing-and composing work, as well as other artistic activities, is exempt from VAT. The exemption does not include sale of art artefacts. (VAT Law No 375 of May 1994); deliveries of goods and services in connection with charity arrangements and collecting and sale of used goods of small value is, under certain conditions, free from VAT duty (VAT Law 375 of May 1994); and charitable societies' sale of goods and benefits in connection with activities are, under certain conditions, exempt from VAT (VAT Law No 375 of May 1994).

The Income Tax Act (paragraph 22) also defines the criteria for non-profit organisations ("organisations accruing collective benefits"), which can have total income tax relief for their small-scale non-commercial business activities. There have been debates under which condition this tax relief may be in conflict with the EU Treaty, Article 87, which prohibits competition distorting subsidies or financial transfers of any other forms of resources to market organisations. Regarding tax rates, the Finnish VAT Act has been enacted to suit the valid EC / EU VAT directives. Since July 2010 the basic VAT-rate in Finland has been 23%. The lower VAT-rate of 9% is applied for books and income fees of cultural, art and entertainment services and performances (entrance fees to museums, box office receipts from cinemas, theatres, orchestras and circus, music and dance performances). The VAT on sales of (non-exported) works of art, by artists or by individual owners of artist's rights (initially zero rate until the end of year 2002), is also 9%. The VAT-rate on the price of newspapers and journals was zero until the end of 2011, but since 1 January 2012 the VAT-rate of 9% has been applied also to this sector. On government decision of March 2012 the VAT-rate will be raised from 1.1.2013 onwards to 24% and 10% respectively.

5.1.4 Social security frameworks Civil servants have a specific social security regime, salaried workers are managed by the Social Security Office and independent workers have their own sectoral social security offices. Paralleling the emergence of the Welfare State, public authorities tried to improve the social status of artists and creators: with the creation of the Caisse nationale des lettres in 1946 (nowadays the National Centre for Books and Literature), the Copyright Law of 1957, social security for artists-authors in 1964 (see for instance: law n 75-1348 of 31 December 1975 on social security for artists, authors of literary and dramatic, musical and choreographic, audiovisual and cinematic, graphic and visual works; article L.382-1 and following with the Social Security Code). A specific social security regime for temporary and occasional workers (intermittence) was set up in 1936 for the technicians of the cinema industry and from 1969, performing artists and interpreters were also covered, followed by technicians in the performing arts. With this regime, named "intermittence du spectacle", performing artists and technicians benefit from the presumption that they are salaried: consequently, they have access, despite discontinuity in their employment, to various measures for social security coverage (health insurance, unemployment benefit, insurance for incapacity and death, retirement pensions, housing aid, etc.) and professional training. For about ten years now, the Ministry of Culture has had to face the question of preserving this exceptional law, partly because of its cost and of certain abuses that can be observed (see circular of Prime Minister of 6 August 2003 on the mobilisation of state departments relating to the economic and social situation in the audiovisual, cinema and performing arts sector). In 2008-2009 the Entretiens de Valois were organised at the Ministry of Culture between stakeholders of the performing arts sector, to tackle these issues and revise performing arts policies. Nevertheless the question of intermittence was not entirely dealt with. The current legislation, which was last revised in 2007, will be renegotiated in 2013.

The intermediary rate applies to cinemas, feasts and funfairs, and the entrances to zoos, museums, monuments, exhibitions and cultural sites. In 2013, the VAT rate (changed from 5.5% to 7% in 2012) was restored to 5.5% for: books (paper and digital) and book rental activities; and ticket-selling for the performing arts: theatre, cabaret, circus, concerts and shows (except in establishments where food and drinks are served). The particular rate of 2.1% applies to press publishing, to the public licence fee for broadcasting and to ticket prices for the first 140 performances of newly created or newly staged theatres works. From 1 January 2014, the main VAT rates will be modified by article 68 of Law n 2012-1510 of 29 December 2012, the third corrective finance act of 2012: the reduced rate will be lowered from 5.5% to 5%; the intermediary rate will be raised from 7% to 10%; and the normal rate will be increased from 19.6% to 20%.

artists and journalists / authors are obliged to join the Artists' Social Insurance Fund (KSK). The special protection for self-employed artists and journalists / authors provided for under the Artists' Social Insurance Act (KSVG) which came into force on August 2nd, 1981 encompasses statutory health, longterm or old age care and pension insurance. Like employees, the artists and journalists / authors must only pay half of the social insurance contribution. Sixty percent of what could be labelled an "employers share" is paid by the companies that regularly exploit and market the work of artists and journalists / authors. To that effect, the enterprises are charged with an artists' social insurance levy (Knstlersozialabgabe) on all fees and royalties paid, whose level is subject to annual adjustments. For example, the levy reached 5.8% in 2005 and then decreased in the following years to 4.1% in 2013. In addition, the Federal Government provides a subsidy to help fund the supposed "employee's share" with 40% of the expenditures of the Artists' Social Insurance Fund. Through another amendment of the Artists' Social Security Law that came into effect in June 2007, the financial basis of the Fund was improved by broader coverage and a stricter examination of all contributors, including the artists as beneficiaries. In September 2008, the attempt of some Lnder in the Bundesrat to abolish the Social Security Act for Artists failed, due to a broadly supported protest against such plans both from cultural policy makers of all parties and from culture and artists' associations.

unions and employers organisations for single artistic sectors and cultural facilities such as theatres, orchestras and music schools. The conditions of work for main occupational groups such as singers, actors, orchestra musicians etc., are laid down in these agreements. In addition, special courts of arbitration have been set up to settle employment disputes in theatres (Bhnenschiedsgericht). The right of employees to participate in decision making processes is guaranteed through the General Worker Co-determination Laws (Mitbestimmungsrecht) and similar regulations for public service staff. However, these rights are somewhat restricted in companies such as e.g. theatres, museums or libraries as well as newspapers abd broadcasters with regard to management decisions of artistic or scientific relevance (the so-called Tendenz!schutz). Of relevance for independent artists and journalists is a regulation from the 1970s in the Wage Agreement Law ( 12a TVG) which was revised in October 2005. Under the law, freelancers who work predominantly for one company can enjoy an "employee-like" status which allows their professional organisations to conclude wage or fee agreements with their contractors.

Studios at Etyek. After negotiation with the European Commission several of the criteria for public support were defined more strictly (with the cultural principle reinforced), and the limits of state subsidies have been set till 2013. On the whole, the main principles of the Film Law were found to be compatible with EU regulations. With the Performing Arts Act (see chapter 5.3.2) a similar tax credit arrangement was introduced for theatres and orchestras to the amount of 80% of the box office income each year. This became an important source of revenue for performing arts organisations. (Source: http://www.eloadomuveszetiiroda.hu). The fact that the regime was extended to donations to sports as of 2012 created concerns: how much would be left for culture at a time when profits of corporations are dwindling anyway? Nevertheless the amount grew to 11.6 billion HUF, divided between 150 organisations. (For comparison: the grants of the National Cultural Fund amounted to 9.8 billion HUF.) In 2003, a significant innovation in the fiscal system radically simplified the administration and taxation of small enterprises (called EVA: simplified enterprise tax), which is beneficial for many self-employed artists and cultural operators. Under EVA, small businesses are taxed at a flat rate of 37% from 2012. This eliminates any other income tax or levy. No record is required on business expenditure which negates the need for the collection, storing and book-keeping of bills and accounts. On the other hand, EVA subjects must add VAT to their invoices which they cannot reclaim. Partly, the large success of EVA led to a next step, the introduction of EKHO, a regime of simplified contributions to common charges (literally "public burden") - see chapter 5.1.4. There is one more speciality in the Hungarian tax system Act CXXVI/1996 on "1%" has evoked great attention outside the country as well. When taxpayers submit their annual tax returns, they can allocate 1% of their income tax to a non-governmental organisation of their choice by indicating its tax identification number (also another 1% to a registered church, if they so wish). According to the data disclosed by the tax authorities, 49% of tax- payers channelled 13.1 billion HUF from the tax on their 2012 income to 31 101 organisations. The full list of recipients is available on the website of the tax authority. It is next to impossible, however, to identify the share of culture from the spreadsheet of 31 thousand lines. Names of the organisations do not always provide clues about their profile. Here is an exception from the first page of the list, for sake of illustration: the Bartk Chamber Choir Foundation in the city of Szolnok received HUF 159 000 (about EUR 530) from 39 anonymous donors. The general value added tax (VAT, in Hungarian fa) rate of 25% was raised to 27% with effect from 2012, which affects music recordings, performing arts (including theatre tickets), film making, video lending, cinema, etc.; whereas a rate of 5% operates for books, including textbooks, periodicals including newspapers, as well as licensed handicraft products. VAT registration is obligatory for undertakings, unless an individual tax exemption is granted, for those with an annual turnover under five million HUF (about EUR 16 700).

the government and civil employees - whereby they come to an agreement on improvements in working arrangements including productivity and salary increases. It is less so, or even non-existent, in respective cultural sub-sectors. Labour conditions of civil servants and civil employees are regulated by the acts on civil service and on public finances. They contain the detailed schedules and criteria of salaries and wages with many direct references to cultural and artistic jobs. These are updated each year, in which the trade unions of the respective cultural sectors take an active part. As was described in chapter 5.1.5, until recently a considerable number of cultural workers have acted in the framework of a "betti trsasg" (Bt), the simplest form of business companies or partnerships, usually with family members as quasi business partners. A "Bt" is also used by employees receiving a regular wage who do occasional freelance work. In a number of public cultural institutions a two-tier salary system operates with some artists on full time contracts, while others are self-employed. The provisions in the pensions system permit performers to retire early, e.g. dancers and some other performing artists under certain circumstances. There are no specific provisions concerning the involvement of volunteers that are relevant to culture. Act LXXXVIII/2005 provides the necessary legal environment and protection for public voluntary work.

5.1.5 Tax laws Though Ireland does not have general legislation aimed at stimulating arts sponsorship or investment, there is a range of tax relief that works to this end. Section 481 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 allows investors to claim tax relief on share subscriptions in qualifying film production companies. The amount of relief that can be claimed is subject to annual limits. An amendment, as a result of the 2008 Finance Acts, has increased the amounts of money that may be raised under the scheme from EUR 35 million to EUR 50 million, the individual and investor cap and the percentage tax relief (now at 100%). This has improved Ireland's competitive position as a location for film and TV production. By 2009, 471 projects had benefited from this provision. Thirty-four projects were supported in 2007. Section 1 003 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 enables persons who donate important national heritage items to the Irish National Collections to credit the value of these donations against their liabilities for certain taxes. In addition, tax breaks are allowed on: business sponsorship of an artist or arts organisation in exchange for promotion of the business; donations to eligible institutions; expenditure on buildings and gardens; gifts to the Exchequer; and provision of certain goods and services such as printing of programmes or tickets, offering airline tickets, etc. However, the 21% VAT charge (increased in 2009 to 21.5%) since 2003 on visits by foreign performing artists to Ireland continues to be burdensome for festivals and other organisations, as well as discouraging North / South exchange, since the same tax does not apply in the UK. Generally the usual VAT rate of 21.5% is reduced to 12.5% in respect of sales of art works and admission to artistic and cultural exhibitions. Books and the promotion of or admission to live theatrical performances are VAT-exempt and exhibition publications are subject to zero-VAT under certain conditions. Artists in Ireland benefit from a specific tax provision. There is, however, no overall status-of-the-artist legislation. Tax-exempt status for self-employed creative artists resident in Ireland was introduced in the 1969 Finance Act. A list of beneficiaries since April 2002 is provided at http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/leaflets/artists-exemption-section-195-1997-act.html. This provision was generally perceived as an imaginative piece of legislation, which has been laudedinternationally. It allows exemption from tax on income from sales or copyright fees in respect of original and creative works of cultural or artistic merit, as well as on Arts Council bursaries, payments of annuities under the Aosdna scheme and foreign earnings. In 2011, the provision was revised with a limit of exemption on the first EUR 40 000 of profits or gains. This is subject to the Universal Social Charge and may be subject to Pay Related Social Insurance, VAT and High Earners' Restriction. Employed artists are subject to the same tax regime as all Irish citizens. For non-resident artists the normal withholding rate is 26%. This is reduced to 10% or to zero in the case of those countries (over 30 of them) with which Ireland has Double Taxation Agreements.

favourable for citizens in the higher tax brackets) were transformed into tax credits, within the limit of 19% of the amount of the donation, equal for all citizens, non-profit organisations and companies. After nearly twenty years, private donations, if earmarked to a list of cultural institutions drawn up by the Ministry of the Heritage, became again totally tax deductible albeit only for companies thanks to Law 342/2000: however, the law establishes a ceiling of 52 million EUR for the potential loss of revenue for the state, which cannot be exceeded. Bureaucratic strings, though, may have affected the law's implementation, which yielded in 2001 much less than expected: only 16 million EUR. The amount of such donations increased in the following years, reaching a peak in 2008, and subsequently decreasing as a result of the economic crisis (see chapter 6.3). The cuts affecting donations by private individuals and non-profit organisations in the same years have been even more drastic. The next, quite bipartisan step, envisaged by all the recent Ministers since the 2000s, has been aimed at increasing the amount of private contributions for culture by making tax incentives once again more appealing for individuals and non-profit organisations as well. In particular, it is estimated that by following the US model, where around 75% of private donations are given by individuals a higher tax relief could significantly increase the support of private individuals to the cultural field. However, an agreement between the Ministry of the Heritage and the Ministry for the Economy historically opposing such measures has so far been out of reach for any kind of political majority. It should be added that substantial fiscal incentives in the form of tax credits and tax shelters are, at least temporary, in force for investments in the cinema industry (see chapter 5.3.6). Finally, as shown in Table 4, the VAT rate on cultural goods is generally lower than the usual rate, notably for books and newspapers. However, for the category of recorded music, VHS and DVDs, the much needed VAT reduction, to foster the week demand by Italian consumers, has not been possible for the time being, as an agreement at EU level could not be found, yet.

Specific regulations are indicated in the Work and Income Provisions for Artists Act [WWIK, Wet Werk en inkomen kunstenaars, 2005]. This Act provides artists temporarily - for a maximum of 48 months, spread over a maximum period of 10 years - with a basic income (70% of the guaranteed minimum income). However, artists may earn up to 125% of the guaranteed minimum income by doing extra work, have no job seeking obligations and have free access to the training and individual counselling services of Artists&Cultural Entrepreneurship [Kunstenaars&CO, see also chapter 8.1). The WWIK is intended for new artists, building up a profitable practice, and for established artists with a temporary decrease in income. Artists who want to make use of the WWIK, have to prove they received a higher arts education or have run a professional practice. Artists&Cultural Entrepreneurship has the legal obligation to execute these professional searches. In addition to legislation, the government has many funds that provide support to the arts. For example, the Dutch Foundation for Literature [Fonds voor de Letteren] encourages the production of Dutch literature by offering scholarships to literary writers and translators, extra payments above their normal salary, start-up grants and travelling scholarships. The Netherlands Fund for the Performing Arts+ [Nederlands Fonds voor Podiumkunsten+, 2007] (see chapter 8.1.2) provides the same kind of support.

[Artiestenregeling], applicable for performing artists: wage taxes for foreign artists are no longer deducted if they are coming from a country the Netherlands have an agreement with preventing double tax deduction, or from Aruba or the Netherlands Antilles. Dutch artists in paid employment are also excluded from the Artists' Arrangement; all other - independent - performing artists are included, from pop / rock bands to symphony orchestras. DJ's, VJ's and MC's (Masters of Ceremony at a dance event) are also considered to be performing artists. Volunteers Volunteers may earn a tax free extra income of 150 euros a month maximum, up to 1 500 euros maximum a year. Up to this amount, they do not need to account for their expenses. Higher compensation is possible if the organisation reports the compensation to the tax inspector, on a yearly basis. VAT The system of VAT is divided into 3 rates: a high rate of 19%, a low rate of 6% and a 0% rate. European legislation allows the member states to charge the low VAT rate on tickets for shows, theatres, circuses, funfairs, amusement parks, concerts, museums, zoos, cinemas, exhibitions and similar cultural events and venues. In 1993, the Netherlands lowered the VAT rate on cinema tickets, admission tickets to public museums (and on the sale of catalogues, photographs and photocopies produced by these museums), theatres and concert halls. Artists who work on commission, such as text writers, composers of advertising jingles, architects and designers, all charge the higher VAT rate. Tax authorities consider that certain forms of subsidy are subject to VAT. However, the Ministry of Finance determined that subsidies arising from the Dutch Cultural Projects Funding Decree [Bekostigingsbesluit cultuuruitingen] would not be subject to VAT. This decree covers all subsidies granted by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science on the grounds of the Cultural Policy Act (Special Purpose Funding) [Wet op het specifiek cultuurbeleid, 1993], including subsidies furnished by the cultural Funds set up by this Ministry.

Over 4 million people are involved in volunteer work in the Netherlands; volunteering plays an important role in the cultural sector. There is no special legislation for volunteer efforts, but there is a National Expenses Arrangement [Landelijke Onkostenregeling] by the Ministry of Social Affairs which stipulates a maximum tax free reimbursement of expenses of 150 euros a month (2006) (see also chapter 5.1.5).

therefore of limited practical use. They argue that it should be revised and made more flexible. Performing artists are exempt from VAT (Chapter II, Section I, Article 9, paragraph 16b of the VAT Regulation Code). Benefits associated with income from intellectual property: income from ownership rights in literary, artistic or scientific work, including income from the sale of unique works of art and income from educational and scientific works, when earned by authors resident in Portugal, provided that they are the original owner, are assessed for personal tax purposes at only 50% of their value, net of other benefits. These provisions exclude income from works not of a literary, artistic or creative nature, works of architecture and advertising work (Items 1 and 2 of Article 56 of the Tax Exemption Act).

within the powerful Artists' Unions. Today the latter have become a special type of professional organisation providing for associating and social protection. In the early 2000s, fruitless efforts were made to produce a special legal framework for artists by adopting the Law on Creative Workers in Literature and Arts and on their Creative Unions, which has twice passed through the Parliament and has been twice declined by the President. The Artists' Unions have the right to establish their own labour exchange and Funds to support retired or unemployed members. Efforts have been made to support artists in their old age, from individual life-long Presidential grants for prominent artists or stipends from regional governments to special supporting schemes for members of artists' unions (see chapter 8.1).

creative unions (which is equal to employment under the terms of paid membership fees). The Labour Code allows for fixed term employment contracts, which are convenient for directors of theatre or music companies; however, cultural and art workers prefer and insist on indefinite term employment agreements. Some of the Labour Code clauses regulate participation of children in cultural work and use of art works, as well as artists' work at night, on holidays and festival days. In 1993, special legal provisions were made for outstanding creative workers employed in the state institutions and gave directors the power to determine their salary without limitations. In 1994, and in 1996, special Federal Government Acts established a minimum rate of remuneration for filmmakers, artists, writers and others. Creative workers employed in state funded institutions and those working in the mass media receive salaries, honoraria and fees.

There are three relevant tax provisions: the Law on the Profits of Legal Entities (RS OG No. 25/2001 amended 80/2002, 43/2003 and 84/2004) entitles them to deduct 1.5% of their income in one fiscal year for donations made to culture; After Profit Tax was amended in 2010 - the amount of deduction increased to 3% of their income in one fiscal year for donations made to culture. the Income Tax Law permits deductions on personal income tax for cultural activities. Artists are allowed a tax deduction of between 40-65% on their earnings for expenses related to their work (without documentation); and gifts to museums, libraries and other cultural institutions are exempt from taxes. The tax rate on the net income resulting from intellectual property rights is 20%.The Income Tax Law (RS OG No. 24/2001) provides a breakdown of the % share of income derived from intellectual property rights that is tax deductible: 65% - sculpture, tapestry, art ceramics, mosaic and stained glass; 55% - art photography, fresco painting and similar arts, clothes design and textile design; 50% - painting, graphic design, industrial design, visual communications, landscaping, restorations, translations; 45% - music performance, movie-making; and 10% - programmes and performances of folk music; and all other activities. After the Income Tax Law was amended in 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2009 (RS OG No. 80/2002, 135/2004, 62/2006, 65/2006, 31/2009 and 44/2009) the % share of tax deductible income derived from intellectual property changed as follows: 50% - sculpture, tapestry, art ceramics, ceroplastics, mosaic and stained glass, art photography, wall painting and other painting in the space with various techniques, costume design, fashion design and artistic processing of textile; 43% - paintings, graphics, industrial design with the development of models, small works from plastic, visual communication works, interior design works and facade architecture, scenography designs, scientific, technical, literary and fiction works, translations, restoration and conservation work, performances of artistic work (playing of instruments and singing, theatre and film acting, recitation), shooting movies and conceptual sketches for the tapestry and costume design. 34% - for the programmes and performances of popular and folk music, production of phonograms, production of videograms, production of TV shows, database production, and all other author and related rights which are not listed. The third type of the tax deductible income (34% share of tax deductible income) was a result of the lobbying of large concert organisers and folk and popular music producers. They were quite successful in their lobbying previous rate for the folk artists was constantly 10%, while the rates for the first two groups were higher (60% and 50% after the changes in 2006). The Income Tax Law does not permit individuals to deduct for contributions to charity. This restrictive tax treatment came into effect in 2001 as a part of general tax system reform. The new Law on Personal Income Tax repealed a system of non-standard tax deductions, which could be up to 15% taxable income. Except for donations for cultural purposes, this tax-benefited treatment had been dedicated also for investments in objects with special cultural, historical and scientific value. Deductions offered, in the Law on the Profits of Legal Entities, on donations to culture are not really considered as an incentive in practice. In addition, the character of cultural donations and types of

organisations that may receive tax-benefit contributions were regulated by direction. The donations can be made for: production, prevention and research of cultural values and heritage; improvement of conditions for the development of cultural activities; international cultural cooperation; education and research in the field of culture and stimulation of creative work. The types of organisations that may receive tax-benefit contribution are in the field of: heritage, museums and galleries; artistic, literary and other creative work; film industry and video production; archive, library, botanical and zoological gardens and the publishing of books, publications and booklets. The Law on the Profit of Legal Entities also regulates tax exemption for non-profit organisations. According to Article 44, non-profit organisations are granted tax exemption under the following conditions: the income is up to 300 000 CSD (around 2 900 EUR in the year 2011) higher than its expenditure in the year of which the right to tax exemption is granted; the non-profit organisation in question does not distribute the income thus generated to its founders, members, executives, employees or persons associated with them; the salaries paid to employees, executives or persons associated with them are not higher than twice the average salary paid in the business area to which the non-profit organisation in question belongs; and the non-profit organisation in question does not distribute its assets in favour of its founders, members, executives, employees or persons associated with them. Incentives introduced during the former regime have disappeared, such as the matching fund "corporationstate / dinar na dinar". New incentives have not yet been created. At present, all donations (except those given through the government) have a 5% gift tax, even if the donation is made in kind. This represents a huge obstacle, even to large donors of equipment. The institution / recipient usually have to find another donor to cover the taxes to be paid to the state. VAT was introduced in Serbia at the beginning of 2005.The general rate is 20%. A reduced rate of VAT for books, tickets for music manifestations and cinema tickets is 8%. In 2011, the ministry of trade made a decision to grant tax benefit (tax credits) to foreign companies that are producing films in Serbia. The tax credits are considered as a part of initiatives in the framework of Programme of Branding Serbia and on the temporary base (only for 2011). The Serbian Film incentives are: 12% cash rebate on all Serbian labour costs (All salaries and taxes paid in Serbia); and 15% cash rebate on all Serbian expenditure on goods and services for the production of feature films, documentaries, television productions and TV series shot on location in Serbia. TV commercials are not eligible. International producers can apply via a Serbian service production company or a Special Purpose Vehicle a company registered in Serbia for the sole purpose of carrying out a particular production. Expenditures such as fees and salaries paid outside Serbia are excluded, as are big-ticket items such as real estate, marketing costs and producer fees. To qualify for this incentive, productions must spend a minimum of 2 million EUR on qualifying Serbian expenditure. Applications for tax credits will be adjudicated on a firstcome, first-served basis. No cultural testing is required. However, incentives will not be considered for (1) films that contradict the ethics and public order in the Republic of Serbia and (2) productions that compromise the reputation of the Republic of Serbia and / or promote human rights violations, hate speech or pornography.

few breaks as possible and to adapt these regulations to new forms of service provision. This legislation is still pending. The scheme for authors is different as they were considered self-employed workers (2621/1986 Royal Decree). Again, efforts were made to establish a fair level of disability insurance and a retirement plan, considering the fluctuations in the annual income of this group. The self-employed workers statute (20/2007 Act) indicates that competent public administrations can sign agreements with Social Security to reduce the contributions of individuals who are self-employed in craft or arts areas ( chapter 5.1.5 provides information on the various ways of providing tax relief for authors).

"reduced" VAT rates, from 18% and 8% to 21% and 10%, respectively. Thus, cultural goods, such as music CDs and movies DVDs attract the "general" levy of 21%, while tickets to libraries, archives and documentation centres and museums and art galleries continue being taxed at the "reduced" rate (10%). The rise in rates has been accompanied by other additional measures by which certain cultural products and services pay a different tax rate: such is the case of the entry to theatres, circuses and other shows, the services produced by individual artists, digital television services and the acquisition of works of art that now pay a VAT rate of 21% (previously it was 8%). Goods such as books, newspapers and magazines continue paying a "super-reduced" VAT rate of 4%, whilst the services of writers, composers or visual artists, which are linked to copyright, continue to be exempt from VAT. All these measures that deter cultural consumption have been produced with strong opposition from the cultural sector, already heavily affected by public cuts. These reforms have not affected the artists who continue benefiting from a tax exemption on important literary or scientific prizes (Article 7.1 of the 35/2006 Income Taxes Act and Article 3 of the 439/2007 Decree approving the Income Tax Regulations).

and taxes apply. There are several artists' unions that represent their members in labour market negotiations. These also function as lobbying groups with the government and the public authorities. In general, artists have lower incomes than the average person, which affects general social security for the individual. Self-employed artists have specific problems vis--vis public health insurance, pensions and unemployment insurance, since their business, often small-sized, is not comparable to the usual trade or enterprise. Some of the specific national or regional grants to individual artists are not taxable (one- and two-year scholarships) and thus, cannot be included in the life- income that relates to their pension. Support is given for intermediary employment centres within the fields of theatre, music, photography and film, for data banks, and for training facilities for professional dancers and actors during periods between job contracts. Work is in progress to introduce more stringent employment criteria. See also comparative information provided in the Compendium "Themes!" section under "Status of Artists".

also responsible for the assessment of taxes. The federal government levies indirect taxes and direct federal tax. The most important source of revenue for the federal government is value added tax. Special provisions are provided in Article 92 of the Federal Law on Direct Federal Taxation (income tax), including "tax-at-source" for artists living in a foreign country. Otherwise, artists are subject to the same tax regulations as everyone else (for self-employed persons, see Article 27ff. and 125, 2 DBG; for the gainfully employed, see Article 26, 125, 1 and 127, 1 DBG). Although private support for culture is quite high in Switzerland compared to other European countries (see chapter 3.2), there are demands to introduce additional incentives to attract even more private investment in order to relieve public budgets. Several laws need to be amended to achieve this goal, among others Swiss Foundation Law (see chapter 4.3), Fiscal Law, and Lottery Law. Also, the attitude of the public administration toward private investors will have to change if an environment conducive to private investment is to be created. Donations or contributions in the form of sponsorship are tax deductible. Cantonal administrations are being encouraged to pursue a more liberal tax policy toward foundations and private sponsors. Tax deductions vary considerably among the cantons. On the federal level, the deduction amounts to 10% of net profits. The cantons are able to stipulate their own percentage levels and conditions for tax exemptions, thereby making it possible for deductions to amount to 100%, such as in the Canton of Basel. The Lottery Law is currently under review, (see chapter 4.3). Lottery funds constitute a major share of public cultural support. Conclusive assessment and a subsequent ruling are unlikely to be reached any time soon. At present, two large lottery companies (SwissLos and Loterie Romande) hold exclusive rights to run lottery games, as granted by cantonal authorities. This situation has come under increasing criticism by the promoters of a free market policy (see chapter 4.3).

more. During the financial year 2007-08, HM Revenue & Customs estimate that they received approximately GBP 100 million of claims for the film tax credit. Fiscal measures are essential to countering the market failures associated with film industries across the world, and the UK Film Council considered it was essential that the UK's suite of incentives preserved levels of inward investment and worked to promote domestic production. The previous government completed its review of film tax incentives in March 2006, and the industry has welcomed the new measures which will make the UK an attractive place to make films. The industry has reported that the new tax credit is working much more efficiently and effectively for inward investment and domestic UK film production. Through the European Convention on Cinematographic co-production, films which are funded by the Northern Ireland Screen Commission, and that carry out either principle photography or post production in both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, can take advantage of both the Republic's Section 481 tax relief for film and the UK's film tax credit scheme (as long as they spend no more than 80% of their budget in one territory and no less that 25% of their budget in the UK and no less than 20% in the Republic of Ireland). However, due to both "use and consume" rules, producers can only receive the maximum benefit of one of the tax schemes; they can no longer enjoy the full benefits of both schemes. The Acceptance in Lieu scheme, operating since 1947, allows a person who is liable to pay inheritance tax, capital transfer tax or estate duty to settle part, or all of the debt, by disposing of a work of art or other object to the Board of Inland Revenue for public ownership. To qualify for exemption, an object must be of national, scientific, historic or architectural interest. These are often antiques, works of art etc, and also archives. In 2006-7, the UK gained art works and heritage items to the value of GBP 25.3 million under the AIL scheme. It is managed on behalf of the government by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA). Individuals offering objects under the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme have a legal right to remain anonymous; few choose to be named. The book sector is specially treated for VAT purposes, being zero rated, as are some artist's supplies. In addition, since a European Court of Justice ruling in 2002, bodies administered on an "essentially voluntary" basis have been exempt from paying tax on admission charges - including theatres, museums, heritage and other cultural organisations. The clarification meant a number of organisations benefited from a significant tax rebate at that time. Inland Revenue has ruled that grants and awards to artists are taxable. Creative people, such as writers, composers, playwrights etc, can arrange with the Inland Revenue authorities to have their tax spread over a period of years if they can demonstrate that their income fluctuates significantly as a result of spending more time some years on the creative process when their income is lower than normal. However, the Inland Revenue does regard "buying time" bursaries as tax free. Since 2000, and under the provisions of the 1989 Gift Aid Act, non-profit organisations whose income was used wholly for heritage upkeep could claim Gift Aid tax relief on donations - worth an extra 28 pence for each GBP 1 donated. After a national consultation to improve the Gift Aid initiative in 2007, the government recently announced that charities could claim Gift Aid at the new basic rate of 20%, but they will also be entitled to a transitional relief worth 3p for every GBP 1 donation received under the scheme. This transitional relief, applicable from 6 April 2008 to 5 April 2011, aims to give time to charities to adapt to the new basic rate, so they can continue to receive 28 p per GBP 1 donated. Higher rate tax payers can claim the difference between the lower rate tax claimed by the recipient charity through Gift Aid and the higher rate tax they have actually paid. Other changes introduced to the Gift Aid scheme are to improve the HM Revenue & Customs audit processes to help reduce administrative burdens, as well as to encourage greater use of the scheme through new guides and training opportunities directed to the
