This is something that can come as a huge and very unpleasant surprise—especially for those who’ve worked in public art in the public sphere where there is generally an exemption. Commissioning parties need to understand this tax requirement as well and understand that whether it comes out of the art budget or is in addition to the art budget, it needs to be referenced in the commissioning agreement and should not be a surprise bill for the artist down the road.Sarah

Forgot to say that the business license only has to be paid once. It's not annual.

It's inexpensive, $50 or less. And of course artists have to pay state, local, and federal income taxes.

I’ve attached our business license which lays out the fee schedule.
The reality, of course, is that many artists do not do this. Many don’t even know they are supposed to do this.
Also, many artists get paid via partnering/trading services.

Subject: Taxation on artistsDoes your city government tax artists?
The City of Charleston treats artists as independent contractors. They have to register as a business($20/YR), pay city service fee ($156/YR), and B/O tax (1% of earnings)
How does this compare to your municipal taxes/fees?
Thanks
