Iceland Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 According to the investigation, the artist allegedly entered the country on five occasions using a tourist visa, when in reality, he traveled to engage in paid work. "He entered Peru five times as a tourist and stayed for four days, maintaining his tourist immigration status. He worked, got paid, and left." Faced with this scenario, the report asserts that the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (Sunat) and Immigration Peru have been very lenient in monitoring the entry of artists. The crime of tax evasion is indeed constituted, but that obviously would have to be proven." The investigation does not mention how much money celebrities and artists would have to pay. Likewise, there is still no statement from the Peruvian authorities regarding any formal accusation against these individuals. https://www.elespectador.com/entretenimiento/gente/bad-bunny-es-acusado-de-evadir-impuestos-en-peru/

He worked, got paid, and left. I’m not super familiar with intl tax law but this is the norm for people who travel and have their own business. If a celebrity goes to Paris Fashion Week and gets paid to make appearances, they’re not asked to pay tax on their “work” even though it’s legally considered taxable income. Same thing for actors who film in another country. They’re working in that location but are not subject to paying taxes there, they pay them back in the country of residence. It would be very different if they live in that new country and run a business from said location for many months per year, which would then be grounds for paying taxes in that country.

This should be attached to the inter-union pass to obtain the temporary artistic visa."
UnusualBoy Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 The Shakiraprint, her influence knows no boundaries!
Antikythera Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 Like we say in Brazil: the company u keep says much about u. Wasnt him recording with Shakira? This girl, I tell you, she has something against paying taxes and she wont be happy untill she see everybody evading taxes! 3
Archetype Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 17 minutes ago, Iceland said: it seems like they need a "temporary artistic visa" But does that require them to pay taxes? If not, what’s the point? Also I still don’t agree with the concept of paying taxes in another country if you’re working for a business that is not located there and the time spent working in said country is minimal. Like, you are still paying local fees and taxes for everything you do and buy. Most countries don’t care in instances like this. Shakira’s is the complete opposite because she was living in Spain and the US while trying to claim tax residency in the Bahamas or something, which is textbook tax evasion.
Raptus Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 At least Shakira stole from colonizers. Men only know how to do evil 1

Not comparable. You go to PFW as a guest for the brands. The brands do pay taxes. Bad Bunny entered Peru with his own business to make money for himself. It's like an international artist getting a tourist Visa in America. They don't. Also PFW pays a couple of thousand dollars tops per celeb. His concert in Peru made over 8 million dollars (tickets only, who knows how much he made off merch). That's 100% taxable money for the country, are you kidding?

His income is taxable to the country he's resident in which is not peru, peru cannot get income tax from him because he is resident in Puerto Rico , he cannot be charged twice by different countries.
