WORLD BANKNOTES

FOREWORDThe banknote auctions seem to come around faster and faster. After our mammothsales in April and a welcome and an extremely successful return to Singapore thisAugust, it is the turn of the London IBNS convention and the Spink Autumn sale.Of course, we have the usual December sale to look forward to later in the year,and 2016 is building up already with some superb and varied collections in thepipeline. This September we have over 1500 lots of world paper, with the usual mix ofarchive material and collectors treasures. We are offering an unusually good groupof Middle Eastern currency with some gorgeous and unique essays. Some of theseare completely unknown designs, and should attract considerable interest. Alsoincluded this time is The Clive Dennett Collection of Rhodesia, which incorporatesseveral notes from the legendary Amon Carter collection, and featuring many typesthat have not been seen on the market for at least a decade. For those closer tohome we have a lovely collection of high quality Scottish with many notes sourcedfrom great names of the past, David Keable, James Douglas and others. There aresome exceptional Commonwealth specimens, extreme rarities from exotic locationslike the Leeward Islands, Grenada, Solomon Islands and so forth, and finally thereis a specimen of a Haj 100 rupee from Pakistan, a tremendous rarity! I am sure that this auction will not disappoint, and we look forward to seeing allour friends in London soon.

Good luck, and enjoy the sale.

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.
