Taxes and social security
Basic knowledge

 

Artists' lives are not just about musical skills. Apart from creative work, taxes and social insurance are also part of everyday artistic life. But at what income level do income tax and insurance contributions have to be paid? When does additional insurance make sense? What support options are available for insurance payments? Which grants and prizes are subject to income tax? What are the general conditions and obligations regarding VAT? Do artists need cash registers?
In this webinar, participants will receive an introduction to general tax law for freelance cultural and artistic work. They will learn about the relevant aspects of social security and possible forms of support and will deal with the special features of international tax law and social security issues.


Objectives

  • Calculation of the income situation
  • Presentation of general framework conditions when entering self-employment

In addition to the course, mdw students/graduates have the opportunity to take advantage of a 15-minute individual consultation between 1 and 5 pm. Registration takes place during the course.
