I do know that some UK performers made it clear that they wanted a song circle not a concert and it was because of their VISA. Some actually gave away CDs and would not accept money.
So does this mean I get to write off the cost of food and drink, the electricity and water used, the rent of bed space????
If it gets too difficult, obviously I will stop hosting concerts.
By the way the only concert that exceeded $200 was for an artist who had a formal contract, an agent and careful records for the IRS.
