Tiësto, Greenberg Traurig Enter Two-Week Settlement Talks in $17 Million Tax-Advice Appeal

Two weeks of talks follow an appellate hearing where judges scrutinized his activities as an artist.

Overview

  • Tiësto is suing U.S. law firm Greenberg Traurig for $17 million that he says he had to pay the IRS in 2020 because of faulty tax guidance.
  • Following the Amsterdam appellate session, both sides agreed to pursue settlement discussions over the next two weeks.
  • Judges questioned Tiësto for roughly five hours about his status and work as a touring artist.
  • A 2024 district court ruled the advice was defective but held that he suffered no recoverable damages, a conclusion now under appeal.
  • Tiësto argues accurate guidance would have allowed him to limit time in the United States and avoid or reduce the tax assessment.
