As athletes, entertainers, and social media influencers grow in influence, so too does the complexity surrounding the ownership and taxation of their image rights. This session delves into the fundamentals and evolution of image rights under Australian intellectual property law. This session explores the benefits of establishing an image rights structure and contrasting Australia’s approach with international practices. Key topics include:

  • Taxation of image rights in Australia, including historical context and international comparisons
  • Benefits of image rights structures and similar intellectual property rights
  • Tax implications of other intellectual property protections; and
  • Cross-border challenges in commercial and tax contexts.
