If you perform original music live, then you’re entitled to royalty payments. But you need to tell APRA!
Live Performance Returns (LPRs) are APRA’s unique system for our members to report their live performances. They’re an essential step in receiving royalty payments – they tell APRA what you’ve performed, where you’ve performed, and how often you’ve performed live.
Last year, APRA collected over $3.78 million which was distributed to their members and members of their affiliated societies for their live performances.
It’s easy to submit an LPR – just head to the writer login area on the APRA website to complete your Live Performance Return for the 10-11 financial year (1 July 2010-31 June 2011). Submit it by August 31, and you’ll be paid in November.
