VAT Rate for Services Provided by a Singer Hired for Private Events. DGT Consultation

• The standard VAT rate for services provided by a singer hired by individuals for weddings, baptisms, and birthdays is 21%.
• However, a reduced rate of 10% applies to services provided by interpreters, artists, directors, and technicians to film producers and organizers of theater and musical works.
• The reduced rate applies to theatrical works, including theater, dance, circus, and puppet shows, as well as musical works, including concerts and performances by musicians, singers, and DJs.
• The location and payment method for the services do not affect the application of the reduced rate.
• If the services are provided solely as intermediaries without organizing the musical performance, the standard rate of 21% applies.
• Similar rules apply to services provided by disc-jockeys, actors in “walking tours,” lightpainting services, and children’s events with live music and simulated bulls.
