Buyer’s Premium
Each lot is subject to a 20% buyer’s premium plus VAT at the standard rate.
VAT
VAT is not charged on the hammer price unless there is either an asterisk (*) or it is stated that there is ‘VAT charged on hammer price’. Buyer’s premium is subject to VAT.
Artist’s Resale Rights/Droit de Suite
Some lots as indicated in the catalogue may be subject to Artist’s Resale Rights/ Droit de Suite.
This was introduced by a European Directive in 2006 to ensure that artists receive a royalty when their work is resold by an auction house or gallery. This Right applies to living artists and to those who have died within the last 70 years who are from applicable countries. This royalty is paid by the purchaser on top of the hammer price if the sale price reaches or exceeds €1000. The amount payable is on a sliding scale e.g. up to €50,000, the royalty rate is 4% of the sale price. The maximum royalty a work can earn is capped at €12,500.
