§
## Article 16: entertainers and sportsmen
§
- 1. Income derived by a resident of a Contracting State as an entertainer, such as a theatre, motion picture, radio, or television artiste, or a musician, or as a sportsman, from his personal activities as such exercised in the other Contracting State, which income would be exempt from tax in that other State under the provisions of Article 7 (Business Profits) or 14 (Income from Employment) of this Convention, may be taxed in that other State, except where the amount of the gross receipts derived by that resident, including expenses reimbursed to him or borne on his behalf, from such activities does not exceed twenty thousand United States dollars ($20,000) or its equivalent in pounds sterling for the taxable year or year of assessment concerned.
§
- 2. Income in respect of activities exercised by an entertainer or a sportsman in his capacity as such which accrues not to the entertainer or sportsman himself but to another person may, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7 (Business Profits) or 14 (Income from Employment) of this Convention, be taxed in the Contracting State in which the activities of the entertainer or sportsman are exercised, unless that other person establishes that neither the entertainer or sportsman nor persons related thereto participate directly or indirectly in the profits of that other person in any manner, including the receipt of deferred remuneration, bonuses, fees, dividends, partnership distributions, or other distributions.

Edition notes and known limitations

Official publisher consolidation of the 2001 convention and 2002 protocol, not an assistant-generated consolidation.

HMRC separately lists 2021 competent-authority agreements; not incorporated by this intake. IRS/Treasury original/protocol/technical-explanation links remain in source-index.json.

Publisher labels this edition “in force”; present legal applicability is not independently certified.

Capture SHA256 identifies complete retained publisher-text extraction, not original HTML transport bytes or any PDF.

Full capture/provenance: html/uk-us-2001-amended-2002/proof.json

v3 clean source sections: top-level searchable supplements have exact source offsets/hashes. Government navigation/footer and implementing-order explanatory notes remain in capture but are not treaty/legal supplement units.

Source authority, text completeness and currentness still require human review.
