Buyers Premium:
A Buyers premium of 17.5% of the hammer price is payable by the buyer together with VAT on the premium unless specified otherwise in the auction catalogue.
VAT:
Lots that are subject to VAT on the hammer price are marked in the catalogues with a (*) star. Buyers from outside the European Union must pay the vat, this will then be refunded to the buyer on provision of the necessary proof of export.
VAT, which is applied to the Buyer's Premium and or the Vendors Commission and all other charges, cannot be refunded and must be paid in full in all circumstances.
Lots which appear without the (*) symbol indicate that no VAT is payable on the hammer price. This is because such lots are sold using the Auctioneers' Margin Scheme and it should be noted that the VAT included within the Premium is not recoverable as input tax.
Droit de Suite:
From 14th February 2006 all UK art market professionals are required to collect a royalty payment for all works of art that have been produced by living artists. This payment is only calculated on qualifying works of art, which are sold for a hammer price more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000 - the UK sterling equivalent will fluctuate in line with prevailing exchange rates.
It is entirely the responsibility of the buyer to acquaint himself with the precise EURO to UK Sterling exchange rate on the day of the sale in this regard. and the auctioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever if the qualifying rate is different to the rate indicated.
All items in the catalogue that are marked with (maybe subject to droit de suite) are potentially qualifying items, and the royalty charge will be applied if the hammer price achieved is more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000. The royalty charge will be added to all relevant buyers' invoices, and must be paid before items can be cleared. All royalty charges are passed on to the Design and Artists Copyright Society ('DACS'), no handling costs or additional fees with respect to these charges will be retained by the auctioneers.
The royalty charge that will be applied to qualifying items which achieve a hammer price of more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 1,000, but less than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 is 4%. For qualifying items that sell for more than the UK sterling equivalent of EURO 50,000 a sliding scale of royalty charges will apply - for a complete list of the royalty charges and threshold levels, please see www.dacs.org.uk. There is no VAT payable on this royalty charge.
A surcharge of 4% will be made to the hammer price for any lot subject to the recently introduced legislation relating to " Droit de Suite " in effect the premium chargeable will be 21.5% plus VAT.

Buyers intending to export goods should ascertain (a) whether an export licence is required and (b) whether there is any specific prohibition on importing goods of that character because, e.g. they may contain prohibited materials such as ivory. Ask us if you need help.
