2 Road Map 2 Taxation of Resident Entertainers and Sportsmen outside India Taxation of Non-Resident Entertainers and Sportsmen in India
3 3 Performance outside India Resident Entertainers and Sportsmen
4 4 Resident Entertainers and Sportsmen performing outside India A large number of Bollywood and Tollywood Films are shot outside India Live concerts by Resident Entertainers outside India (recently Indian Singer, Sonu Nigam, performed at Sydney) Sports - Cricket, Football, Hockey matches played around the globe Earlier, Artist was used to denote Performers (does not include Painters, Sculptors) Term Entertainer different from Artiste - Not defined in the Act New Genre of Individuals, Entertainers, who may or may not act Common parlance, Entertainer means: One who amuses people, such as a singer, dancer, comedian, magician, etc., especially one who does so as a profession One who entertains; a host Entertain - To engage the attention of agreeably; to amuse with that which makes the time pass pleasantly; to divert; as, to entertain friends with conversation, etc Article 17 and amendment to Section 115BBA as Entertainers in India
5 5 Judicial Precedents on Section 80RR - Artist, Actor, Entertainer Amitabh Bachchan vs DCIT (106 TTJ 925) - In the context of erstwhile Section 80RR, ( which provided a deduction to income of artists, actors etc earned in foreign exchange), on whether Mr. Amitabh Bachchan s performance in KBC was as an Actor - Held Yes by Mumbai Tribunal, stating: The various meanings assigned to the term artist by different standard dictionaries clearly show that the term "artist" is a term which has a wide meaning not merely restricted to the meaning of fine arts but encompasses within its scope, a skilled performer. Similar issue, Mr. Sachin Tendulkar s argument upheld that he was an Actor while appearing in commercials (2011-TIOL-327-ITAT-MUM). CIT vs Tarun R Tahiliani (2010-TIOL-446-HC-MUM-IT) : A Designer was held to be an Artist Harsha Bhogle vs ITO (2003-TIOL-46-ITAT-MUM) : A presenter, commentator and programme compere of sports on television was held to be not an artist
6 6 Judicial Precedents - Artist, Actor, Entertainer Canadian Case Law - Cheek vs the Queen: The Court has provided detailed reasoning why a radio broadcaster cannot be considered as a radio artiste as per 1980 US-Canada Tax Treaty stating: It is obvious that athletes and sportsmen "perform" in their chosen athletic avocation; and their performance is inherently entertaining. The fans who turn on the radio to hear a particular Baseball game want to know how the team is performing on the field. While he may be able to hold the attention and interest of the fans with his "down time" commentary but he is not the reason why the fan turns on the radio. Pilcom vs Income-tax Officer (2003-TII-86-ITAT-KOL-INTL) : Held that the players of the cricket associations of the participating countries in the World Cup Cricket Tournament, 1996, should be considered as Entertainers. Issue : Whether the IPL can be considered has having more entertainment value than actually being a sport? Artificially crafted teams and not all the players of Mumbai Indians are actually from Mumbai? Rajasthan Royals? CSK? Article 17 of OECD Model Convention, various tax treaties and Section115BBA of the Act apply in equal measure to both Sportspersons and Entertainers
7 7 Taxability of Resident Entertainers and Sportsmen performing outside India Article 17 of Tax Treaties and OECD Model Tax Convention Main reason for this special treatment is that top artistes and sportsmen are very mobile and can easily move their residency to a tax havens, which levies no income tax. The OECD believes that without Art. 17 (and the taxing right for the source country) these top artistes and sportsmen would escape from taxation under Art Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 15, income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State. 2. Where income in respect of personal activities exercised by an entertainer or a sportsman in his capacity as such accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to another person, that income may, notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 7 and 15, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exercised. Discussion draft on Article 17 Revised Commentary(issued for public comments in April 2010) (changes proposed in red) - Recommended to substitute the term Artiste with the term Entertainer and the term Appearances with Performances
8 Preliminary Conditions 8 Income derived from personal activities would be taxable in Country of Performance ( Country P ) irrespective of number of days stay in Country P. Conditions for applicability: Resident of one of the contracting states ( Country R ); From Performance of Personal Activities in Country P. As per the thesis of Mr. Milan Matijevic, set of criteria: Must be a performance; Performance should be in public, i.e. directly before an audience or recorded and later reproduced for an audience; Predominant element of the performance must be artistic and entertaining (level is irrelevant); Performer by himself / herself should be the direct or indirect reason why the audience is listening to or watching the performance.
9 Meaning of Artiste and Sportsmen 9 9 No precise definition of artiste - Theatre, motion picture, radio or television artiste, or musician, stage performer, film actor, former sportsman in TV commercial Who acts as such even for a single event One time appearance in a movie or a Amatuer winning a Sports Prize Does not include: Visiting conference speaker : former politician as a Speaker, a model presenting clothes during a fashion show, support staff Cameramen, producers, film directors, choreographers, technical staff, road crew No precise definition of sportsmen Not restricted to traditional athletic events (e.g. runners, jumpers, swimmers) Also covers, golfers, jockeys, footballers, cricketers, tennis players, racing drivers Income from certain other activities of an entertainment character Billiards and snooker, chess and bridge tournaments Merely reporting of an event is not covered
10 Income covered by Article 17 Income covered by Article 17 Directly or indirectly related to performance, irrespective of the payer Income of agent received on behalf of Individual Sponsorship and Advertising fees, if related to performance (Wearing Logo during Match) Income from image rights ie name, signature or personal image, if related to performance Income from Merchandising, if related to performance Income from preparation and training, regardless of whether or not related to performance Payments for simultaneous broadcast of performance, benefiting Entertainer / Sportsman Having Entertainment character, even if activities are of political, religious or charitable nature Income covered by other Articles No direct link between the income and the performance of activities Income of agent arranging appearance Sponsorship and Advertising fees, if not related to performance Income from image rights ie name, signature or personal image, if not related to performance Merchandising income derived from sales not related to performances- Article 12 or Article 7 Payments received in the event of the cancellation of a performance - Article 7 Income from restrictive covenants, (an agreement, a legal obligation imposed) to do or not to do something - Article 7
11 Other provisions 11 Dual Role : Mr. Subhash Ghai - appearance in most of his movies Actual nature of activities Activities predominantly of performing nature, apply to all resulting income Performing element is a negligible part, whole income will fall outside the Article In other cases,an apportionment should be necessary Applicable regardless of the Payer Performance as an Employee of the Company, receiving annual salary Country P entitled to tax proportionate salary corresponding to the performance Member of orchestra paid salary and not payment for each separate performance Tax proportion of musician's salary which corresponds to performance Employed by one person company, Country P may tax proportionate remuneration Domestic laws look through entities and treat income accruing to individual: Country P can tax income accruing in the entity for individual's benefit, even if not actually paid as remuneration to the individual (eg Brad Pitt s company receiving income for his benefit)
12 Examples 12 A cyclist employed by a Team, required to travel with the team, appear in public press conferences, participate in training activities and races in different countries. Paid fixed annual salary plus bonuses based on race results. Allocate the salary based on number of working days during which he is present in each State performing employment-related activities (e.g. travel, training, races, public appearances) and allocate bonuses to where the relevant races took place. Organiser of a football tournament holds all IPR in the event and receives payments for broadcasting rights - Article 17 is not applicable to income and also to any share of these payments distributed to participating teams. Depending on legal nature, may constitute royalties covered by Article 12. Indian Cricket Team goes to Australia to play a series and fly in 3 weeks in advance to practice on the ground- Taxability of income from practice sessions? It will be appropriate to allocate that salary or remuneration on the basis of the working days spent in each State in which the entertainer or sportsman has been required, under his employment contract, to perform these activities
13 Computation of Income 13 Computation of Income under Article 17 Article does not provide for Computation of income Country P s domestic law - deductions for expenses Domestic laws differ - Taxation at source, gross based taxation, low rate
14 Income accruing to other persons 14 Income accrues to another person and Country P does not look through the person receiving the income to tax it as income of the Individual, as per Paragraph 2, portion of income which cannot be taxed in the hands of the Individual, may be taxed in the hands of the other person receiving it Business Income may be taxable even in the absence of a PE in Country P Three situations: Management company receives income for appearance of a group (not constituted as a legal entity) Team, team, troupe, orchestra, etc., constituted as a legal entity Income for performances may be paid to entity Individual members liable to tax under Paragraph 1 Profit element of legal entity under Paragraph 2 Entertainer / Sportsman Company (Neither as personal activities or business income) Taxable under Paragraph 2 (Individual and Star Company may be residents of different States) If Country P Looks Through, taxable under Paragraph 1

Depending on domestic law of Country P, tax only the company or Individual on the whole income attributable to activities or tax each of them on part of the income, e.g. by taxing the income received by the company but allowing a deduction for the relevant part of the remuneration paid to the Individual and taxing that part in the hands of the Individual
16 Article 17 - Paragraph 2 16 Profit element accruing from a performance to legal entity liable to tax Example 1 : I Co pays Brad Pitt s Company USD 10 Million for performance in India; Company pays Brad Pitt USD 9.50 Million - amount taxable in under Article 17? USD 9.5 Million in the hands of the Entertainer USD 0.50 Million in the hands of the Company Example 2 : American Sports Company sends group of eight sportsmen to India for playing at a football tournament Sports Company receives USD 10 million from I Co and pays USD 8 million to the sportsmen as remuneration Expenses of Sport Company in relation to football tournament USD 0.50 Million Profit of the Sports Company USD 1.50 Million - Taxable under Article 17(2)
17 Article 17(2) 17 Peculiar India-Australia Treaty Australian Cricketer s Management Company receives the income on his behalf Article 17(2) gives the impression that Management Companies of only Entertainers are covered ie Management Companies of Sportsmen may not covered by Article 17(2) and hence not taxable ARTICLE XVII - Entertainers - 1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 14 and 15, income derived by residents of one of the Contracting States as entertainers, such as theatre, motion picture, radio or television artists, musicians and athletes, from their personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, may be taxed in that other State. 2.
