Tax Information & T4As
ML Talent Is Your Agent
ML Talent Agency acts as your talent agent for production work booked through our agency. ML Talent is not the production company that hires and pays you for that work.
Payment for production work is processed by the applicable production company or its payroll provider.
Tax documents relating to those production earnings are generally issued by the production company or payroll provider that processed your payment. ML Talent does not prepare or issue tax slips on behalf of production companies.

Receiving Your T4A
When applicable, T4As for production work are generally issued by the production company or payroll provider that processed your payment.
Occasionally, a T4A may be mailed to ML Talent Agency on a performer's behalf. If we receive a T4A addressed to you, we will forward it to you by email.
Please note: ML Talent can only forward tax documents that have actually been received at our office. We do not issue T4As on behalf of production companies..

Keep Your Payment Records
We recommend keeping all cheque stubs, payment vouchers and other payment records you receive from productions throughout the year.
Your ML Talent commission invoices and receipts may also contain helpful information, including the production name, work date, gross amount reported to the agency and commission charged.

Statement of Account
Upon request, ML Talent can provide a Statement of Account for the previous calendar year for $10 + HST.
The statement provides a record of your account with ML Talent Agency and shows:
The production or job
The applicable dates
Commission paid to ML Talent Agency
Please note: A Statement of Account is not a tax document or statement of earnings. It only reflects commission paid to ML Talent Agency and does not show or verify your total income from productions.
