This session is the first out of three public input sessions within the frame of the digital companionship programme: transnational contexts & relations, that is organised and hosted by Kreativ-Transfer, a project of Dachverband Tanz Deutschland and produktionsbande. In the companionship programme, one companion with transnational expertise supports one participant in the development and expansion of their own transnational working practice as a producer in the independent performing arts.

In this session we invite a critical eye on our existing networks, our informal champions and how to utilise these tools to identify new opportunities, disseminate work and push producing practices. We will look at the structure of networks and the importance of reciprocity in building lasting relationships. We will use this time to form a temporal network of information exchange where participants will be invited to offer their experiences and talk about their desires.

Withholding tax, reverse charge procedure and double taxation agreements - all things that you have already encountered and yet everything remains complicated: When does the so-called reverse charge procedure apply? Does the Kleinunternehmerregelung (small business regulation) also apply abroad? What about VAT when a company invites artists from abroad? What is the new One-Stop-Shop (OSS) procedure all about? Where does income tax apply if a choreographer based in Germany has guest performances in Belgium and France? Are rehearsal fees subject to withholding tax? What should you know about net and gross agreements when negotiating contracts? And in which cases can performances be exempt from tax?

Sebastian Hoffmann, a consultant at touring artists and others, will provide an introduction to the topic of "International taxation" and share important basic knowledge so that you can avoid potential hurdles in your international activities. He will explain practical examples, clarify typical misunderstandings and answer your individual questions.
