Remunerations from abroad

The foreign copyright organisations collect remunerations for the use of Finnish recordings abroad.

Compensation for Finland and Gramex is based on agreements between Gramex and foreign copyright organizations. The remunerations collected are always based on the country’s own tariffs. The distribution is based on the distribution and processing rules of each foreign organization.

Remunerations received by Gramex from abroad will always be paid to Gramex customers at the next principal distribution and payment. Gramex does not deduct its own administrative costs from the remunerations received from abroad.

The tax treatment in Finland complies with the tax legislation in force and the international tax treaties concluded by the Finnish State with other states.
