Why are artists and musicians so expensive in France, compared to the UK?
All French artists have a special status, and are registered with a specific social security system. Employers of artists are obliged to have a special license and need to assure that all social security payments are made, as well as taxes, insurances and other obligations. It’s a complicated and time-consuming administrative procedure that almost doubles the actual wage paid to the artist. Vive la France. Our events in Monaco, so the French tax system doesn’t apply to us! France and Monaco have a mutual agreement so taxes and social security charges are the same in both countries for everyone not resident in Monaco.
