About us

With the introduction on 1 July, 2000, of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), Australian Business Number (ABN), and Pay As You Go (PAYG) Withholding Tax regimes Artist Escrow Services Pty Ltd was established to assist all non-resident entertainers, actors, and sportspeople to dispense with the need to personally comply with these local registration requirements while still enabling them to apply for the maximum reduction of their withholding tax rate and to obtain a full refund of any GST incurred during their Australian engagement.

Artist Escrow Services Pty Ltd provides a range of specialised services to international artists and sportspeople who tour both Australia and New Zealand. In today’s economic climate and digital world a performing artist’s primary source of income is earned from touring. It is our Company’s aim and objective to ensure that you maximise the financial outcome of your tour in Australia and New Zealand.

Artist Escrow Services Pty Ltd is associated with the CPA firm of Roseby Rosner & Young (RRY) which assists its clients in the formal filing of Foreign Resident Withholding Variation applications and mandatory Income Tax Returns. RRY, in its capacity as a registered Tax Agent, conducts all negotiations with the revenue authorities and files all necessary submissions relative to withholding tax clearances, tax disputes and audits – refer Roseby Rosner & Young Pty Ltd.
