Song and dance festivals
The licensing fee for song and dance festivals is 5% of the event’s entry fee (excluding VAT), with a minimum of €30 per day of the event.
In cases of free entry:
for 1-100 attendees: €20 per day of the event
for 101-300 attendees: €30 per day of the event
for 301-600 attendees: €40 per day of the event
for 601-1000 attendees: €65 per day of the event
for each additional 1,000 attendees: an additional €50 per day of the event
For dance festivals, the repertoire report must include the title of the musical work, the composer, the lyricist, and the choreographer who created the dance.
NB! The licence fee rates shown here do not include the amount of VAT to be added by the EAÜ under the Value-Added Tax Act, which is calculated on the EAÜ’s commission and shown as a separate line on the invoice submitted by the EAÜ.
These licensing fee rates are valid from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.
No later than 14 days after the event, a financial report must be submitted, and in the case of a live performance (a band or artist performs), a repertoire report as well. Based on the received reports, a license fee invoice will be issued.
