taxes, taxes, taxes – part 2!
Here are the most important tips for artists and cultural practitioners to get their taxes right:

Income generated through artistic or cultural work needs to be taxed. Grants, fees, prizes and income from art sales all need to be declared as income. If you’re unsure whether a payment has to be declared for tax purposes, ask the cantonal tax authorities.

Get help from experts. Professional associations offer different services – from workshops to individual support. Check out what they offer to get the best advice for your situation.

Collect receipts for all your income. Whether it’s a salary, a funding grant or income from selling your art, keep all receipts so you can declare everything in your tax return. Set up one dedicated place (physical or digital) to collect them throughout the year.

Understand the pros and cons of different organisational structures. Whether you work independently or are employed makes a big difference in how you organise yourself and your admin tasks. Inform yourself about the different options to find the structure that fits you and your work best.
