ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY SERVICE (EIS) FEE
The LPA also charges an Entertainment Industry Service Fee (EIS) to hirers through venues which:

  • Is collected by LPA venue members, and is paid by the hirers.
  • Is levied on a user-pays basis, to reflect the varying levels of hiring activity and venue size. This fee covers any possible industrial or other activity associated with any given performance or production, and general industry activities. It assists the LPA to provide responsive and professional service for the individual and the industry, not only in industrial, contract and resource matters, but also on major policy issues and industry development.

Payment of the EIS Fee provides venues and the producer/promoter/hirer with industrial relations coverage, and assistance in the event of industrial disputation, at minimal cost, as well as funding industry activities. This extends to all producers/promoters/hirers using members venues.

The EIS fee is tax deductible. It is payable per performance or production, and may be negotiated, direct with the LPA particularly for longer-running shows.

By paying per production or performance, it also enables the hirer - who benefits from LPA services whether a member or not - to spread financial costs over a longer period, and as part of the production budget.
