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 tovAT–registered businesses, the vAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show vAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable vAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the vAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering 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. Starred 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. Such Lots bear vAT because the Lot is liable forvAT at this rate on importation into the EU.

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.

vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have vAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import vAT due. We will collect the vAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
