Withholding tax
You pay withholding tax when you receive income from your music abroad. If your music is played abroad, Sena also collects a fee for you there. A number of foreign rights organisations deduct withholding tax from that fee. In some cases, you can reclaim the tax that has been deducted.
Which countries levy withholding tax?
We strive to collect foreign remuneration without withholding tax or at the applicable minimum rates. However, some foreign rights organisations do levy withholding tax. This may be due to local legislation or an existing tax treaty between the Netherlands and the country of withholding.

Refund or settlement of withholding tax from other countries
Under certain conditions, it is possible to reclaim withholding tax or settle it against tax paid in the United Kingdom. The conditions for this vary from country to country. Please contact your tax adviser for more information. Unfortunately, Sena cannot assist you with this.
