Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at Auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme

1. 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 Lots

Limited 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 Lots

Lots 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 Lots

Lots 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 Lots

Lots 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.
