Many creators now live abroad while receiving income from works broadcast or distributed in France. In this situation, it is essential to properly declare your foreign tax residency in order to avoid any unjustified withholding on your author’s rights paid by the SACD or the SCAM.

If no supporting documentation is provided, French collecting societies are legally required to apply withholding tax at source, even if you are already taxed in your country of residence. This withholding can reach up to 30%.

With the New Year 2026, and in order to avoid any withholding tax on the revenues we provide you from SACD, we would need you to complete and send to SACD  :

  • A new and original tax residence certificate completed and stamped by the tax authorities of your country of residence delivered after Jan 1st 2026.
  •  Send tax forms original and tax residence original  by post to SACD for each year in which you received income from them.

If you complete this process before March 2026, any tax amounts withheld before that shall be immediately; Wizdeo doesn’t take any commissions on those refunds since we base our commissions on amounts before tax.

This article explains why properly declaring a foreign tax residency is essential, and the risks involved if you fail to do so.

Should we directly start a video with a product placement, or should we hook the audience within a few seconds, or either postpone it after several minutes ? This is a frequently asked question for Brands and Creators ... and everyone has their own opinion on the matter:

If the brand integration is too early, the audience will likely skip the ad, if the integration is too late, I may have already lost a portion of the audience.

So, to solve it, we decided to find the answer by numbers, based on a dataset of 340 videos for which we have the click-through rate per 1000 views, as well as the placement segment timecode.
