WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORD

The December auction may be short of some of the spring and autumn heavyweightsbut in my opinion still stands on its own merit with 1400 lots and a varied selection, atypical December sale I suppose. There are certainly still some lovely items, especially theSouth African ‘Kruger’ set of specimens (Lot 989), and the Czechoslovakian 500 korunof 1919 (Lot 165), as well as the usual groups of archival material for which we are sowell known.

The October auction was our largest ever and shows that the market is in rude health.This is most unlike the ‘overworked’ cataloguers at Spink who seem to be on an endlesstreadmill of typing out descriptions and looking up prices. As problems go, I supposethis is not a serious one, and actually I hope the supply continues! In fact, we are alreadyplanning 2015 which is looking excellent (and it is well known that I’m a pessimist).

The number of auctions has really highlighted to me that the banknote market haschanged dramatically. I was recently looking up a note sold in one of our first auctions,some decades ago. The photographs were in black and white and stuck down by hand,in small sections at the back of coin sales. Now our catalogues should carry healthwarnings for heavy lifting and grant bonus payments to the postal services. TheDecember sale may not entirely crush the family pet waiting at the door for the postman,but it should have enough to interest most collectors.

Good luck and the compliments of the season to all our friends in the banknote world.

Barnaby, Andrew, Monica and Thomasina

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 anyVAT symbol 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 to UKVAT–registered businesses, the VAT on Buyers’ Premium is notrecoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day, we will issueinvoices that show VAT separately on both the Hammer Price andthe Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registered businesses torecover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to the normal rules forrecovering 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 will be added to the Buyer’spremium.

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. Imported and Omega LotsLots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5% onthe Hammer price plus 20% on the Buyer’s premium. Lots which bear theOmega symbol (Ω) are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price andon the Buyer’s Premium. This VAT is payable on items imported fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation is deferreduntil the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treated as theimporter and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We will collect the VATfrom you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise on your behalf.

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 outside of the EU.
