Tax Implications - Non-Canadians Touring With OSAC
OSAC is required to withhold tax on any payments we submit to artists that are not residents of Canada. If you are an international artist and will be touring with OSAC, you may decide to apply for a waiver. CAPACOA has an informative guide on the who, what, when, where and why when applying for a tax waiver.

OSAC operates in small communities throughout Saskatchewan and the performances in each location are reliant on volunteers, who may spend the day teaching school, working in a local store, farming, or doing other volunteer work. As such, OSAC acts as the liaison between the artist and the local arts council and all of the contracting, routing, etc., will come through the OSAC office. OSAC strongly suggests that the price you submit include all possible costs including travel, tech, and accommodations as a way to ease the workload on the volunteer base.
