Following extensive consultation, PRS for Music has announced its revised live classical music tariff, effective from 1 September 2023Making Music,...
PRS for Music, the live performance royalty collection body for music in the UK, is currently consulting on proposed changes and increases to the classical tariff.
Their proposal is to raise the tariff from 4.8% to 7.2% over three years, but also to pull more receipts (e.g. booking fees, programme income) into how the income, and therefore the charge, would be calculated. We feel the reasons given for this proposal by PRS don’t stack up, and we know that this change would be a significant financial burden for our members and the leisure-time music sector.
PRS have now extended the public consultation to 31 December 2019.
Making Music is joining a consortium of organisations with a stake in this negotiation, to provide a strong voice at the negotiating table. We will also submit a separate response on behalf of our members.
We now need your views!
