Value Added Tax Purchasers Resident within Great Britain Lots marked † after the lot number are imported from outside the UK under the auctioneers temporary import scheme. As such VAT at the reduced rate of 5% will be added to the hammer price. On all other lots there is no VAT on the hammer price. VAT at 20% will be added to the 19% buyers premium on all lots, including those sold under the auctioneers temporary import scheme. Although buyers premium includes an element of VAT it will be shown as a single inclusive amount and the VAT within this amount may NOT be reclaimed by the buyer even if the buyer is registered for VAT. 20% VAT will be added to the 2% charge for paying by corporate credit card. 20% VAT will also be added to postage and packing charges. Purchasers Resident outside Great Britain There will be NO VAT CHARGES (on the hammer price, 19% buyers premium, credit card charges or postage and packing ch arges) provided Argyll Etkin post the lots to the purchaser. Therefore the only additions to the hammer price paid by purchasers outside the EU are the 19% buyers premium, postage and packing charges, and the 2% charge if paying by credit card. Any purchaser collecting their lots in person will be treated as being resident within Great Britain for VAT purposes. Printed by Pardy & Son (Printers) Ltd.
