Tax, Invoicing and Reporting

Providers and organisers are independent businesses. You are responsible for declaring your income, paying your own income tax, corporation tax, National Insurance and VAT where it applies, and for keeping the records the law requires.

Artistover does not withhold tax from payouts and does not operate PAYE for providers.

Artistover Limited is not currently registered for VAT. Our platform fee is charged without VAT and no VAT is recoverable on it.

If we register for VAT, we will tell providers and organisers in advance, our invoices will show VAT from that date, and the change will be handled under the fee change notice in our Fees and Pricing document.

Whether VAT applies to your service, your venue hire or your tickets depends on your own VAT position and on what you are selling. Venue hire, catering and admission to events are not all treated the same way.

If you are VAT registered, the prices you publish must reflect that, and you are responsible for accounting for VAT on your sales. Artistover does not calculate, collect or remit VAT on your behalf.

Do not present an Artistover booking total as VAT inclusive or exclusive in a way that does not match your actual registration status.

Customers receive a booking confirmation and a payment receipt for every payment they make. Where a customer needs a VAT invoice for a booking, the provider issues it, because the supply is from the provider to the customer.

Providers receive a statement for each payout showing the bookings included, the gross amounts, the Artistover platform fee, refunds and any recovery. Statements are available in the dashboard and are sufficient to support your own bookkeeping.

Artistover issues its own invoice for the platform fee where you need one for your records.

Digital platforms in the United Kingdom are required to collect information about sellers who earn through them and to report it to HM Revenue and Customs each year, with a copy provided to the seller.

That means we may need to collect and report your name, address, date of birth or company registration number, tax identification number, and the total you earned and the fees you were charged during the reportable period.

You must give us accurate information when we ask for it. Where required information is missing after reminders, we may be obliged to restrict payouts until it is provided.

Our payment provider is required to verify the identity of anyone receiving money through the platform, and to carry out checks required by anti-money laundering rules. These checks are a legal requirement, not an Artistover preference, and payouts cannot be released until they pass.

Questions about invoices or statements can be sent to contact@artistover.com. We cannot give tax advice.
