Multinational entertainers, including athletes and performance artists, are regularly presented opportunities to perform outside their country of residence. By default, non-residents performing services and earning income in the United States are subject to American tax; foreign jurisdictions usually impose similar rules. Performance artists benefit from generalized tax treaty relief for independent personal services and unique treaty articles specific to entertainers and athletes. Join us to explore how the United States taxes multinational performers and learn how to best advise them on tax reduction options.
