Buyer’s Premium & VAT:
A buyer’s premium (BP) of 17.5% is applicable to all lots in this sale when bidding is conducted directly with Graham Budd Auctions either in the room or by absentee or telephone bidding.
The majority of lots in the auction are offered under the Auctioneer’s Margin Scheme (AMS) and as such BP is subject to VAT (currently set at a rate of 20% in the UK). Lots offered under AMS are marked in the printed catalogue with a * symbol after the estimate. The invoice total for AMS lots will be therefore be the hammer price + 21% inclusive of VAT.
Under VAT rules some lots are deemed to be zero rated (ZR) for VAT purposes, such as books, programmes, magazines, newspapers etc. ZR lots are marked in the catalogue with a ** symbol after the estimate. The invoice total for ZR lots will be therefore be the hammer price + 17.5%.
On very rare occasions some lots are offered under normal VAT rules and VAT will be charged at 20% (the current rate) on both the hammer price and BP. These lots are marked in the catalogue with a † “dagger” symbol. The invoice total for a “daggered” lot will therefore be the hammer price + 41% inclusive of VAT.
VAT in respect of non-EU buyers
If a non-European Union (EU) buyer instructs the auctioneer to export a purchased lot outside of the EU, then the auctioneer can demonstrate proof of export and is thereby authorised to remove the VAT from the buyer’s invoice. If however the buyer is handling the export in person or through an instructed shipper outside the control of the auctioneer, the VAT will have to be paid and then reclaimed by the buyer or the buyer’s shipper at the port of departure. Buyers are reminded that it is their responsibility to comply with UK export regulations and with any local import requirements.
Internet Bidding
When using the Proxibid internet bidding platform for sales at Graham Budd Auctions please note that additional fees will apply. A 3% fee (+ vat where applicable) of the hammer price applies:
