This includes artist to collector introductions, Art Edit initiated exhibitions and leads to an Artist directly eg via social media where buyers are known to have discovered the artist via Art Edit. Best practice for artists who receive direct enquiries is to ask where the potential buyer discovered their artwork. In cases where the buyer advises Art Edit then the artist should direct the buyer to complete the transaction on Art Edit.

Each party is responsible for their own taxes associated with each transaction and will account for any taxes imposed by governments or governing authorities, and related accounting or audit requirements arising out of, as a result of, incidental to, or in connection with obligations under this agreement.

Art Edit will not collect or pay taxes on your behalf as Art Edit is merely acting as an agent in facilitating the sale of your product to the customers. You authorize Art Edit to deduct the base amount (which includes Art Edit’s margin for facilitation services, including tax where applicable) from the sales proceeds for your artwork before distributing your margin (which will include tax where applicable). The amounts distributed to you will be deemed to be inclusive of any taxes, if applicable. You will at all times be solely responsible for reporting and remitting any tax liabilities arising out of the sale of your art together with any potential interest or penalties that any tax authority may levy as a result of non-compliance.

If this is not provided you permit Art Edit in its capacity as agent to withhold the highest rate of tax (currently 47%) from any payments due to you.

You are required to notify Art Edit if you are registered for GST, as such any payment price set by you will be inclusive of GST. Art Edit will issue a tax invoice on your behalf and will ensure any copies of the invoices will also be sent to the artist.

For the avoidance of doubt, all tax-related reporting responsibilities by you to relevant tax authorities are entirely your responsibility.
