The art market across UK and Europe has become a regulated sector for anti-money laundering purposes.
The legislation is mandatory and requires verification of the identity of clients when selling or acquiring artworks over €8000 (£7000 approx). It applies to both new and existing clients (including those from outside the EU) transacting with us. The checks that we are required to carry out and the records that we must keep are similar to the “Know Your Customer” processes that banks, law firms and some of the major auction houses already follow. We will ask you for the following information:
Please be assured that all personal data will be held and processed securely in accordance with data protection legislation. We anticipate that the legislation may, impact on the speed of some transactions and we therefore ask for your patience if it takes a little longer than usual for us to process sales. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and look forward to working with you.
HMRC anti-money laundering registration number is: XRML0000018572
