  • Foreign Entertainers Unit

    Click on the title to go straight to the FEU.  If you are touring into NI with anyone in your company who is NOT a British resident (paying tax in Great Britain) then get a Foreign Entertainers  tax exemption.  If you don't  the venues are obliged to withhold 22% of your total fee or box office.  The  FEU know that venues in NI often receive companies from the Republic so the FEU are particularly vigilant in Northern Ireland.
