flag Australian artists demand tax-free arts grants, mirroring tax-free gambling winnings, amid funding crisis.

flag Creative professionals in Australia are urging the government to make arts prizes, grants, and fellowships tax-free, citing inequity with tax-free gambling winnings from literary awards. flag The NSW government’s arts tax summit in Sydney is reviewing proposals like a national arts lottery, 150% tax deductibility for arts donations, cultural vouchers, and reinstated book printing subsidies. flag With the creative sector valued at over $122 billion, many artists earn just over $54,000 annually, often relying on non-arts income. flag Advocates also seek production incentives for live performance, tax-deductible ticket purchases, and GST-free tickets, while APRA AMCOS pushes for live music tax offsets. flag The summit’s recommendations will inform the 2028 National Cultural Policy amid concerns over systemic underfunding, following job cuts at major institutions like the Art Gallery of NSW and Create NSW.
