NOTICE FOR COMPANY BIDDERS
If you are bidding on behalf of an entity and the entity already has a MyChristie's account, the company's name will need to be entered as part of the registration process.
If your company does not already have a MyChristie's account, you cannot register online at http://www.christies.com/onlineonly. You will first need to create a MyChristie's account. In either situation, Christie's may require that company to provide certain documents or meet certain qualifications as set forth below. If you registered as a company bidder, your company will need to pay for any purchases via a credit card issued to the company account and not a personal account. Christie's is not able to honour any reseller's certificates through the online-only auction process for this sale and cannot grant any exemption upon check-out for applicable sales tax. Successful company bidders will be charged sales tax, if applicable, as part of the check-out process. Buyers claiming exemption and a refund must provide Christie's with the appropriate valid and up-to-date documentation and Christie's will facilitate the process of a refund if possible.

Other Information
Additional Charge Details
Additional charges, including the buyer’s premium, valued added, sales or compensating use tax or equivalent tax, any and all shipping expenses, including costs, packing and handling, any loss damage liability fees, and all other applicable charges will apply.
Buyer’s Premium: In addition to the final bid price for each lot, you agree to pay Christie’s the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable value added, sales or compensating use tax or equivalent tax, any and all shipping expenses, including costs, packing and handling, any loss damage liability fees, and all other applicable charges. The buyer's premium is 25% of the first £50,000 of the hammer price on each lot plus 20% of the excess of the hammer price above £50,000 up to and including £1,000,000 plus 12% in excess of any amount above £1,000,000. VAT will be charged on the buyer’s premium at the applicable rate.
VAT: All lots shall be sold as part of the Margin Scheme unless stated with the Omega symbol (Ω) or the words “Omega Lot”. Margin Scheme lots have VAT applicable to the buyer’s premium at the VAT rate of 20%. Lots marked with the Omega symbol (Ω) or with the words “Omega Lot” are on Temporary Admission to the EU, and VAT is payable at 20% on the final bid price and 20% on the buyer’s premium. You are responsible for any VAT (including any Import VAT) payable as a result of the sale of the lot. 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 shipment (for lots marked with the Omega symbol (Ω) or the words “Omega 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.
