A response to a parliamentary question that dates to 2018 states:
Artistes who are not resident in the State for tax purposes have a liability to Irish tax on income arising from the exercise of their profession in the State. However, because foreign resident artistes merely have a transitory presence in the State, there are numerous practical difficulties associated with enforcing such a liability.
As I said, that dates to 2018. Have those issues that were outlined been addressed? Can we be assured that when we purchase our tickets to international artists' concerts, they will pay tax on income earned in this State in the same way as Irish artists?
