Basis for remuneration 2015 and 2014

We remind you about your statutory obligation to report your 2016 income for repertoire with a 1963 until 1965 release date. The report should be submitted to us before 1 July 2017. If you did not receive any income in 2016 for titles released in 1963 until 1965, we require a confirmation of this via our website.

All producers are required to report on repertoire subject to extended protection under the legislative amendment. Even if producers have not accrued any income from recordings released from 1963 until 1965, we must receive confirmation of this before 1 July 2017. All producers received an email to this extent on April 11th 2017 asking them to report their income directly. On this page, producers can also confirm that they never accrued any income from recordings released from 1963 until 1965. 

Can you not find the e-mail of 11 April? Send the filled Excel sheet by 1 July 2017 to fondsuitvoerendekunstenaars@sena.nl stating your Sena number.

With unclaimed repertoire musicians it’s now also possible to reject repertoire on which you haven’t participated. The claim will disappear from the list.

New function: unclaimed repertoire

‘Unclaimed repertoire’, formally known as PCP and PCPn, is played repertoire whereby at least one producer is unknown.

Under ‘claims’ you can find this repertoire. Under the tab 'suggestions' you can find track titles which have been released under your label. Under the tab 'all' you can find all the track titles from our database which are missing a claim from a producer. Use the search engine to search for main artist and track title. Click on 'claim' to claim a track title, after that you will be able to complement or correct the track title. Click on 'reject' in case the track title hasn’t been released under your label.

Completing of claims isn’t done by working on batches, but the list of unclaimed repertoire will be updated automatically with new claims.

New names for unclaimed repertoire
Under claims you can find double claims (previously DCP), ‘unclaimed repertoire your labels’ (previously PCP), unclaimed repertoire (previously PCPn) and ISRC. With this change the block with double claim info, which used to be on the homepage, has been moved to the tab claims.

Add labels to MySena

Last year we asked MySena users, musicians and producers to take part in a user test. The display of your tracks in MySena and the way you add tracks to MySena have been renewed based on the results of that test. So what exactly has changed?

• From now on you will work in a single repertoire overview in MySena. That one repertoire overview will contain all the tracks you have added, tracks for which the addition has not yet been completed and tracks that have been rejected by Sena.

• You will be able to add a track or album directly from the repertoire overview. It has also been made even easier to add tracks.

• When adding a track or album, it will now be possible to save your progress and then continue later. This can be useful when you don't yet have all the necessary information, for example.

• From now on, producers will also be required to enter an ISRC when adding new tracks. The ISRC is a unique identifier assigned to a recording. If you are a master owner, you can request a master owner code by sending an email to isrc@sena.nl. You can use the code to create your own producer ISRC. > Read more about ISRC

Current status of exchange with foreign sister organizations

Delaying factors and administration costs
It may take some CMOs longer to correctly and completely process claims. Therefore, it may be that we receive funds in 2016 for claims that have been issued in 2015 for airplay in 2014.
Sena pays the collected fees from abroad minus administration costs. For fees from EU countries, including the EFTA countries Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland and Norway, the withholding rate is 4%. For non-EU and non-EFTA countries the withholding rate is 6%.
