VAT: All lots shall be sold as part of the Margin Scheme unless otherwise indicated with the VAT symbol or description. Margin Scheme lots have VAT applicable to the buyer’s premium at the VAT rate of 20%. VAT charges and refunds depend on the particular circumstances of the buyer. In all circumstances EU and UK law takes precedence. For the purposes of this online-only auction, the VAT amount in the buyer’s premium for EU private buyers cannot be refunded. For buyers outside the EU, VAT may be refunded if certain conditions are met including showing proof of a ‘controlled’ export outside the EU within 30 days of the close of sale (for lots marked with the Star symbol (*) or the words “Starred Lot” on Temporary Admission) and for all other lots proof of export within 3 months of shipping. For buyers outside the EU where items are shipped outside the EU through Christie’s Art Transport, you will not be required to pay the VAT at settlement.
