Protect your brand
Our experts offer tax advice on image rights and structures to ensure your intellectual property is set up correctly and in the most tax efficient way.
We’ll ensure you don’t end up on the wrong side of the tax authorities while keeping the maximum amount of income possible.
How our image rights service works
There are many definitions of image rights often described as the expression of a personality in the public domain. The provision of image rights in law enables the definition, value, commercial exploitation and protection of image rights associated with a person.
Celebrities are increasingly involved in making plans to protect their intellectual property rights and they understand that their legacy will continue beyond their lifetime. For example, ensuring that they’re not associated with causes that they did not wish to support during their lifetime.
You may also be concerned about the use of computer-generated images in movies, television or commercials. Employment contracts govern how they can be used in a particular film or commercial, now and in the future.
We also provide investment management through our network of qualified financial planners and independent financial advisors.
We understand the entertainment industry’s unique financial challenges. Whether you’re dealing with royalties, touring expenses, or international tax rules or image rights, we provide tailored solutions to help you stay in control.

Your Questions, Answered
How is entertainment accounting different from regular accounting?
Entertainment accounting involves managing fluctuating income, international tax obligations, royalties, residuals, brand deals, and performance-related expenses. We specialize in ensuring that industry professionals remain tax-efficient, compliant, and financially secure, no matter how complex their earnings structure is.
Can you help with international tax if I work abroad?
Yes! Many of our clients work internationally, tour globally, or earn revenue from multiple countries. We provide expert guidance on double taxation treaties, VAT requirements, and foreign income reporting to keep you compliant while maximizing your earnings.
What expenses can entertainment professionals claim for tax deductions?
Common tax-deductible expenses include:
✔️ Travel and accommodation for work
✔️ Agent and management fees
✔️ Equipment and wardrobe (if industry-related)
✔️ Studio rental and production costs
✔️ Professional training and coaching
✔️ Marketing, websites, and self-promotion
We help identify all legitimate deductions to reduce your tax bill while ensuring full compliance.
Do I need to register for VAT as an entertainer?
VAT registration depends on your income level and type of work. If your turnover exceeds £90,000 (UK threshold), VAT registration may be required. However, we assess your situation to determine the best VAT scheme for your specific needs, including handling VAT on overseas income and digital earnings.
Can you help with royalty tracking and image rights management?
Absolutely! We assist musicians, actors, content creators, and other entertainment professionals in tracking royalties, negotiating contracts, and setting up image rights companies to protect and maximize earnings while remaining tax-efficient.
