Arts & Entertainment

The Arts and Entertainment sector in Ireland is rich, diverse and inclusive and has seen significant investment and development from the government in recent years. 

The range of the sector includes commercial interests to publicly funded organisations and stakeholders such as the Arts Council, local authorities, the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht and many other local bodies. Its impact contributes significantly to tourism, employment and the wider economy and promotes our artists and creatives worldwide through touring and performances. 

The Covid-19 pandemic had a detrimental effect with all participators and stakeholders anxious to resume filling theatres, welcoming visitors to museums and venues and entertaining audiences at home and aboard.

We have many years’ experience in working in the Arts and Entertainment sector, providing advice to clients ranging from large theatrical productions, live performers and arts centres, to actors, writers and producers, to name a few.

From this broad range of clients, we have gained a wealth of experience and are best place to advise on matters such as VAT, Artist’s Exemption and Charitable Status for publicly funded organisations.

We also have invaluable experience in reporting requirements of funders, reporting to the Charities Regulator and can advise you on best practice in relation to corporate governance. Supporting this experience is a dedicated team looking after tax and company secretarial compliance needs of our clients.
