Please be advised that in accordance with the Resolution of the SFP-ZAPA Administrative Board of 18/03/2019, deductions for administration costs in all fields of exploitation have been reduced compared to 2019
In accordance with the requirements arising from the Collective Management Act, the SFP-ZAPA Administrative Board has approved the deductions for administration costs in the following fields of exploitation:
1) retransmission - 10%;
2) broadcasting - 10%;
3) projection in cinemas - 9%;
4) reproduction - 12%;
5) private copying - 12%;
6) public performance - 10.5%;
7) VoD - 10.5%;
8) foreign use - 10%.
The deduction for administration costs is made on the basis of the planned costs of SFP-ZAPA (collection and distribution costs) in relation to the planned amount of royalties collected. Increasing collections in recent years as well as balanced operating costs allowed for reduction of deduction rates in all fields of exploitation. Particularly, noteworthy is the reduced rate of deductions as for broadcasting and retransmission(10%) and cinema projections (9%) - the lowest rate in the history of SFP-ZAPA. In relation to the fields requiring more cost consuming operations, the deduction rate was set at a slightly higher level of 12% (reproduction, private copying),although reduced as well compared to 2019.
The new deduction rates apply to amounts collected starting January 1, 2019.
