Payment of Sales Tax (V.A.T.)

Payment of vat (sales tax) at current UK rate of 20% will apply on both the hammer price and buyers premium on any items purchased. With regard to overseas customers, if good are to be exported out of the UK, VAT can be refunded on the hammer price, subject to 1st Machinery Auctions receiving sufficient proof of export. This refund is also subject to the goods leaving the UK within 3 months of the auctions end date. Exporters must be aware that VAT on the buyers premium will not be refunded as it is categorised by HM Customs and Exise as a "service charge" within the UK.
