How is sales tax and VAT handled on works listed with secure checkout?

For works shipped to the US, sales and use tax will be automatically calculated and added to your total at checkout.

If you are exempt from US sales tax, we kindly ask you to reach out to our team at orders@artsy.net and we’d be happy to assist. Kindly note that a tax resale certificate is required. 

For works shipping to the UK and EEA, value-added tax (VAT) will be included in the list price.

Tips from Artsy Specialists: If you are transacting from a location exempt from VAT, but the price is tax inclusive, we suggest that you place an offer (via the “Make Offer” button, if available) less the taxable amount and include a note explaining the reason for the applied discount.

Finally, kindly note that any purchases shipped internationally may be subject to further export, import and customs duties or international taxes such as VAT. The buyer is responsible for these charges which will be invoiced directly by the shipping provider. 

Please note that Artsy does not facilitate reclamation of VAT.
