Temporary Admission
We are pleased to inform that Cromwell Place has now been granted its own Temporary Admission (TA) authorisation by HMRC, which provides a number of potential benefits.
Importing artwork from outside of the European Union under TA provides Members with relief from payment of duty or import VAT for up to two years at a time. Additionally, if an artwork is sold whilst on TA and permanently imported in the UK in the name of the end-user (whether a registered business or private individual), they will benefit from the reduced import VAT rate for artworks – which at 5% of the sale value is currently the lowest in Europe.
