| Private copying royalties are collected and paid to CPCC
by the manufacturers and importers of blank media. This section
of the site contains information of special interest to manufacturers
and importers. For specific information about the current private
copying tariff, including rates, please click here. |

|
|
| Liability to pay a private copying royalty is triggered by
first sale in Canada. This sale will be made by the manufacturer
when the media has been manufactured in Canada, and otherwise
by the importer. This is why responsibility for collection and
payment of royalties rests with manufacturers and importers.
For clarity, under the Copyright Act,
any transaction in which media changes hands will trigger liability.
Liability attaches only to the types of media designated for
royalties under the private copying
tariff. |
| |
|
|
| Media exported by a manufacturer or importer do not attract
any royalty. Nor do sales made under the statutory exemption
for societies, associations and corporations representing the
perceptually disabled. Nevertheless,
these transactions are subject to record-keeping
and must be reported to CPCC. |
