What does Net of Tax mean?
Net of Tax refers to the amount of money remaining after taxes have been deducted from total earnings or revenue. In the entertainment industry, net of tax calculations are often used in contracts to clarify how much an actor, director, or crew member will receive after taxes are withheld. Understanding net of tax amounts helps entertainment professionals accurately estimate their take-home pay and manage their finances accordingly.
Example:A film studio agrees to pay a director $500,000 net of tax, meaning the studio will handle the tax payments, and the director will receive the full amount after taxes are deducted.
Example: An actor’s contract specifies that their salary is net of tax, allowing them to know exactly how much they will earn after tax obligations are settled.
