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. For each lot the total buyer’s premium plus applicable VAT which will be payable in addition to the hammer price is calculated as 41.66 % of the hammer price up to a value of € 700,000. For a lot which sells above € 700,000 the calculation is as follows: 41.66 % of the hammer price up to a value of €700,000, plus 34.40% of the hammer price between €700,001 to €4,000,000, plus 27.75% of any amount in excess of €4,000,001
