If a lot is marked ‘!’, it will have a special VAT status (special margin scheme) and will be subject to higher rates as follows: A ‘!’ lot is imported from outside the EU. VAT will be charged at 21% on the buyer’s premium and invoiced inclusively. A consolidated import VAT rate of 10.2% will also be charged and calculated on the hammer price.
