So what do you do in the case that you\u2019re working under a PAYE income but you\u2019re also earning from the sale of your artistic work?<\/p>\n<p>In this case, your PAYE income is subject to Income Tax, USC and PRSI, which are all deducted automatically by your employer. As an artist, however, you are self-employed if you\u2019re making money from your art. It&#8217;s your responsibility to declare any income you\u2019ve earned from your art.<\/p>\n<p>This means registering as self-assessed with Revenue and declaring your earnings. If you are working your PAYE job\u00a0<i>but\u00a0<\/i>you\u2019re working as an artist in your free time, you can file your taxes under the PAYE tax assessment system, as long as you earn less than \u20ac5,000 net (that is after expenses but we\u2019ll get to that in just a sec). In this case, you must submit a tax return Form 12.<\/p>\n<p>In the scenario that you\u2019re earning over \u20ac5,000 in non-PAYE net income a year, you must file your self-assessed taxes by submitting a Form 11.<\/p>\n<p>The deadline for filing your taxes is 31 October the following year, if you fail to file on time, you will face penalties. If you\u2019re not up-to-date with your taxes, you\u2019ll have to pay what you owe from previous years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We take the hassle out of filing your Irish tax return<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"orange-cta-btn\"><a style=\"padding: 15px; text-align: center; border-radius: 30px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #e74632; color: #fff; margin: 25px 0px 25px 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/user\/#\/application\/ireland\/essentials\"; target =\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\";>GET STARTED<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-reliefs-and-expenses-can-i-claim-as-an-artist-or-writer\"><b>What reliefs and expenses can I claim as an artist or writer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As an artist, who likely needs tools and equipment to produce your art, you&#8217;ll no doubt be happy to hear that you may be entitled to claim back some expenses and reliefs.

These kinds of expenses can be written off against your earnings in some cases. But let\u2019s break it down\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Revenue expenses are deductible as long as they\u2019re incurred wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the trade aka if you have fees like internet, electricity, and accountancy (and yes, that includes using Taxback to file your tax return) that are related to the production of your creative work, they may be deductible.<\/p>\n<p>You may also claim capital expenses which include things like your computer, your canvases, necessary software, artistic materials and so on.
