THE CLAYTON COLLECTION OF EGYPT

Egypt is a fascinating area to collect because it involves almost all European powers at some time or another and over arelatively short period from the building of the Suez Canal in the 1850’s until Nationalisation of many companies in the1950’s. The main powers to have financial interest were Great Britain and France as will be seen from the companiesrepresented here but the Belgians, Italians, Swiss and Germans also formed companies to trade there. The country was,prior to the British occupation in 1882, a province of the Ottoman Empire but they had little control. It remained underBritish governance, as a protectorate from 1914 until the establishment of the Kingdom of Egypt in 1922 although theBritish still controlled much of the financial structure. This gradually led to the revolution of 1952 at the height of anti-British and anti-foreign feeling. President Nasser later nationalised the Suez Canal provoking the Suez Crisis and invasionby British, French and Israeli forces in 1956.

One of only two examples known

£4,000-5,000

A number of 'forced' loans were raised at this time to fund thebattles of the English Civil War. Acts were passed by both theScottish Parliament and by King Charles in 1644, using bothlaw and moral pressure to raise the funds.

Charles I fight with Scotland went back to 1633 when hedecided that the English Book of Common Prayer should beintroduced into Scotland. Feeling ran high and rioting brokeout in the main towns. In 1638 the Scottish Assembly drew upa National Covenant abolishing the Book of Common Prayerand later also abolishing bishops. This provoked Militaryaction by the English but in 1640 the Scottish Covenantersinvaded England and gained the upper hand. When Scottishnobles joined with the English against the Covenanters a trucewas drawn up. Soon afterwards the King declared war on theEnglish Parliament who in 1643 made an alliance with theCovenanters. The Covenanters again invaded England in1644 to join with the Parliamentarians and it is this loanthat was used to pay for the troops. The certificate states thatinterest was to be paid but does not state the rate and alsopromises to pay the principal from excise duties raised inEngland.

John Maitland, 1st Earl of Lauderdale, Viscount ofLauderdale, Viscount Maitland, and Lord Thirlestaneand Boltoun, (died January 1645). President of the ScottishParliament as well as the Privy Council, sided with theParliamentarian cause during the Civil War.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anyVAT symbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for VAT inthe United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under the Auctioneers’ MarginScheme. In these circumstances no VAT will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the HammerPrice and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’s Premium. A refund ofVAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium can also be made on receipt of proofof business as a collectibles dealer outside of the EU.
