A detailed guide to the taxation of entertainers and sportspersons in four volumes and electronically. There is no other recent publication on this. This publication is for the practitioner and others written by a practitioner who has been an academic. Its design follows his way of working beginning with the basic materials and analysing them for application to any particular case. Updated in volume 4 to cover changes introduced by part two, FA 2025: the replacement of a domicile-based system with a residence-based system and the abolition of the Remittance Basis.It is a starting point for the adviser in a hurry. It includes Key Points boxes to help as well as full contents for each Chapter. There are also many tables and checklists. There is often a further detailed analysis including on Article 17 OECD Model Treaty, HMRC’s published views on “Image Rights”, the 1987 Regulations and DTR. There is also a detailed Chapter on Avoidance. It includes many examples. Relevant statutory and related material are included in the text so everything is easily available. Tax law requires an understanding of the legal analysis of the underlying matters. Accordingly, matters such as “Image Rights” or “Personality Rights”, the Economic Torts, Confidentiality and Passing Off are dealt with. There is also a detailed case study at the end intended to bring matters together.
