For athletes, actors, creators, and the businesses built around them: one control room for contracts, income, tax, and the deadlines a season creates.
Think
Map the income and the exposure before the season starts.
- Income-stream mapping across endorsements, appearance fees, media rights, and prize money
- Cross-border tax exposure review: foreign income, DTAA positioning, and FTC eligibility
- Contract and endorsement register setup, so nothing is owed and untracked
- Structuring advisory for talent-led businesses and management companies
Brands, leagues, and platforms still owe money most seasons, and untracked receivables are the most common gap we find first.
Transform
Build the compliance calendar around the season, not the tax year.
- GST and tax compliance calendars sequenced against season, shoot, and travel schedules
- Foreign-income and Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) tracking for cross-border earnings
- Documentation-gap closure across contracts, invoices, and TDS certificates
- Advance-tax and GST return timing built around irregular, event-driven income
Advance-tax dates, GST windows, and Form 67 timing are tracked against the season and travel calendar, not a generic fiscal-year checklist.
Operate
File, chase receivables, and answer notices, every cycle.
- Filings and submissions: income tax, GST, and FTC claims on schedule
- Receivables follow-up with brands, leagues, and platforms on outstanding payments
- Notice and query response for income-tax and GST correspondence
- Management dashboards giving a single view across contracts, income, and open risks
A worked example
An athlete or creator earning endorsement income from a foreign brand, prize money from an overseas tournament, and domestic media rights in the same season has three different income characterisations to track, each with its own withholding and DTAA position. Foreign Tax Credit claims have to be matched against foreign withholding certificates and filed inside the return, not reconciled after the fact — the kind of tracking a single unified dashboard exists to keep from falling through the gap between three different income sources.
Common questions
We work with brands and leagues across multiple countries — how is foreign income handled?
Foreign income is tracked against DTAA positioning and Foreign Tax Credit eligibility as it's earned, not reconstructed at filing time, so double taxation is avoided by design rather than corrected after the fact.
Is this only for athletes, or does it cover managers and talent businesses too?
It covers athletes, actors, performers, creators, managers and agents, and the brands, agencies, and talent-led businesses built around them — the same control room, scoped to whichever category fits.
How does this differ from a general tax advisory engagement?
The compliance calendar is built around the season, shoot, and travel schedule rather than the standard fiscal-year checklist, and receivables tracking against contracts is part of the desk, not a separate service.
