Buyer commission is 10% + VAT

VAT 21%, applicable to the hammer price (with the exception of lots sold without VAT) and buyers commission.

There are 5 options for VAT calculation:
1. The buyer is from Belgium and is VAT liable: VAT is invoiced on the total selling price (recoverable VAT for companies).

2. The buyer is VAT-liable in an EU member country other than Belgium and possesses an intra-community VAT number, and the horse is delivered to in a EU member country: VAT exemption, presentation of the proof of export mandatory within three months. The horse is not allowed to compete in the country during that time.

3. The buyer is VAT liable in an EU member country other than Belgium and possesses an intra-community VAT number, and the LOT remains in Belgium: VAT invoicing (recoverable VAT with the Belgian tax authorities).

4. The buyer is not VAT liable in Belgium nor any other EU member state: VAT invoiced (not recoverable).

5. The Lot is exported outside of the EU: VAT exemption upon presentation of the customs document certifying the export of the horse. The horse must be exported within three months and is not allowed to compete in the EU during that time.

Payment in full (hammer price, commission and VAT when applicable) must be organized on  the day of purchase by wire transfer to The Auction. 

After the sale, the horses return to their vendors until full payment is settled by the purchaser.  The Auction will grant authorization to collect the horse as soon as payment is received.
