Tax Information (International)
This is our tax accounting resource for International Record Labels and Artists. We realize it is a lot but we wanted to be as comprehensive as possible. Feel free to create a ticket if any questions. Note: Symphonic is not a tax accounting agency and thus does not give legal advice, we simply report and provide the information as per what we've been instructed to from our country authorities.
