Hammer price 3. All bids for a lot at an auction shall be considered an offer for that lot, which the Auctioneer can accept or reject in accordance with clauses 9 and 12 of these Terms and Conditions. The Hammer price means the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer for the lot. The purchase price payable by the buyer shall be the aggregate of the Hammer price and the Buyer’s premium (plus any VAT chargeable on the Hammer price and Buyer’s premium, whenever applicable). The NET of VAT Buyer’s premium is at a rate of 25% on up to and including £300,000; 20% on any amount in between £300,000 and £3,000,000 inclusive; and at a rate of 13.9% on any remaining amount above £3,000,000 of the Hammer price. All prices are quoted in UK Pounds Sterling. VAT 4. Lots are normally sold under the UK Auctioneers Margin Scheme. Input tax deduction has not been and will not be claimed in respect of such lots. The charge for the Buyer’s premium will be shown on the invoice inclusive of VAT on the charges described above, which must not be detailed separately and may not be reclaimed as input tax. 4.1 For lots marked with a dagger (†) normal VAT rules apply, and the standard rate of 20% VAT will be charged on both Hammer price and Buyer’s premium. Ω symbol indicates 20% Import Duty Charge applies. 5. Items marked with an asterisk (*) have been imported from outside the UK. 5% will be added to the Hammer price to cover Import VAT. UK VAT registered buyers should note that neither this 5% nor the VAT on the Buyer’s premium can be refunded or claimed against VAT. Buyers from outside the UK who intend to ship their purchases outside the UK within three months should tell MacDougall Arts at time of payment. For them, the VAT charge included in the premium and the 5% Import charge on asterisked lots will be treated as a deposit, refundable on presentation of documentary proof of export outside the UK within three months. 6. Items marked with the "â—Ž" symbol are stored outside the UK. Buyers collecting purchases in the UK should note that an additional 5% Import Duty will be due for clearing the work into free circulation if shipped into the UK. It's the sole responsibility of the buyer to comply with all export and import regulations relating to his purchases and also to obtain any relevant export and/or import licence(s). The need for export/import licences varies from country to country and bidders should familiarise themselves with all relevant local requirements before placing bids. Droit de suite (Artist’s resale right) 7.1 Some works will be subject to Droit de Suite (Artist’s Resale Right) and will be indicated with a “§� mark in the catalogue or otherwise notified. This is a royalty payable to a qualifying artist (citizens of EU and EEA countries) each time a work is re-sold during the artist’s lifetime and to their descendants for 70 years after the artist’s death. 7.2 Buyers will be charged an amount equal to this resale royalty where it applies. These resale royalties are not subject to VAT and do not apply when the Hammer price is less than 1,000 Euros. Invoices are normally issued in Pounds Sterling, with the resale royalty calculated on the basis of the European Central Bank reference rate on the date of the sale. 7.3 Droit de Suite Scale Charge Portion of the Hammer Price (in Euros) 4% Up to 50,000 3% 50,001-200,000 1% 200,001-350,000 ½% 350,001-500,000 ¼% Over 500,000 To a maximum of 12,500 euros Guaranteed Property 8.

Bidding at an auction is regulated at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer, who reserves the right to reject any bid. 10. In the case of lots upon which the vendor has placed a reserve, the Auctioneer shall have the right to bid on behalf of the vendor, but no higher than the reserve.

MacDougall’s executes absentee bids as a convenience for clients and will try to purchase these lots for the lowest possible price, considering the reserve and other bids. If identical absentee bids are left, MacDougall's will give precedence to the first one received. 12.
