For Art Market Professionals

How to submit sales details

We rely on you responding to Requests for Information to carry out an efficient service for artists and their beneficiaries.

How it works

  1. 1. We write to you asking for sales information

    We’ll send you a Request for Information four times a year, in January, April, July and October, asking you to declare when you are involved in the sale of a work which may have generated a royalty for the artist under the Artist’s Resale Right.

  2. 2. You send us your sales information

    You have 90 days to respond. We’ll then check the information and confirm whether a royalty is due. We may contact you if we need any further details.

  3. 3. We invoice you for the royalty due

    We pay the artist or the artist’s estate within 30 days of receiving the royalties from you.
