Tax Talk column hits the right note
THANKS for the Tax Talk column in The
National yesterday.
As a songwriter and pro-copyright advocate, I support such efforts
to educate like-minded owners and users of copyright.
I wonder if the rest of the article will comment on the question
of royalties and withholding tax and the specific types and
amounts of income tax payable, and what is the schedule of
activities that owners can undertake to reduce their tax
liability?
May I also contend that without copyright regulation on Collective
Management Organisations, the Internal Revenue Commission cannot
tax royalty income?
I understand that the IPOPNG is working on a draft and will
present it to cabinet in time for a decision.
Through the Port Moresby Copyright Owners’ Lobby (POMCOL), I am
calling on songwriters to send me email at oalasongs@hotmail.com
and provide their contact details.
POMCOL will then call a meeting to gauge opinions as to whether it
is feasible to incorporate as a Collective Management Organisation
under the Associations Incorporation Act in readiness for the
regulation.
Thanks Mark Opur and The National for the column.
