Anyone who has a creative campaign can use Artiste Connect. As of now we are only open to those who reside in the Philippines because we need your presence to sign contracts for legal purposes. However we are currently in a transition stage, we are eventually working to bring this service to South East Asia and the world.

The artist/corporation that is VAT registered is liable to pay the 12% VAT to the BIR on their sales on our website. Please note that it is not Artiste Connect that is making the sale, we're just the website where the artists post their products, so that it is not Artiste Connect's tax registration with the BIR that will govern the tax/ VAT implication, but it is the registration of the artist that is making the sale.
