4.3 Bidding as PrincipalWhen making a bid (whether such bids are made in person or byway of telephone bids operated by Spink, commission or online oremail bids), you will be deemed to be acting as principal and will beaccepting personal liability, unless it has been agreed in writing, at thetime of registration, that you are acting as agent on behalf of a thirdparty buyer acceptable to us.

4.4 Commission BidsIf you give us instructions to bid on your behalf, by using the formprovided in our catalogues or via our website, we shall use reasonableendeavours to do so, provided these instructions are received not laterthan 24 hours before the auction. If we receive commission bids on aparticular Lot for identical amounts, and at auction these bids are thehighest bids for the Lot, it will be sold to the person whose bid wasreceived first. Commission bids are undertaken subject to othercommitments at the time of the sale, and the conduct of the auctionmay be such that we are unable to bid as requested. Since this isundertaken as a free service to prospective buyers on the terms stated,we cannot accept liability for failure to make a commission bid.

Bidding will take place in a currency determined byus, which is usually sterling for auctions held in London. The currencyconverter is not always reliable, and errors may occur beyond ourcontrol either in the accuracy of the Lot number displayed on theconverter, or the foreign currency equivalent of sterling bids. We shallnot be liable to you for any loss suffered as a result of you following thecurrency converter.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at AuctionThe information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anysymbol 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 toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated LotsLimited 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 element will be included withinthe Buyer’s Premium.

iii. Daggered LotsLots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 20%on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Starred and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which is shown asinclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω) are subject toVAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’s Premium. Such Lotsbear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT at this rate on importation intothe EU.

v. Investment Gold LotsLots 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.

vi. Imported LotsLots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premium becausethey have been imported into the United Kingdom from outside the EU.In these cases we have used a temporary importation procedure, which ineffect means that the point of importation is deferred until the Lot has beensold. At this point the Buyer is treated as the importer and is liable to paythe import VAT due. We will collect the VAT from you and pay it to HMCustoms and Excise on your behalf.
