I am advised by Revenue that it uses the NACE (European Economic Activity Classification) system for categorising activities and taxpayers into sectors. Based on this classification, there were 2,415 self-employed income tax returns filed for 2017 (the latest year available) by taxpayers in the ‘Performing Arts’ category. The NACE system does not provide a more granular breakdown, such as ‘musician’ only.
