How does the scheme affect Art Market Professionals?

There are legal obligations for Art Market Professions which require them to:

  • report qualifying resales of original visual artworks to RRA; and
  • pay to RRA* the resale royalty payable in respect of each qualifying resale.  The seller is also jointly & severally liable for payment.  

These are explained in our Guide: Information for Art Market Professionals.

Please register to stay informed about your obligations under the scheme, and to receive administrative support with compliance.

(*This assumes the Art Market Professional is acting as agent for the seller on a resale.   In cases where there is no agent for the seller, then instead the buyer’s agent or the buyer will be jointly liable with the seller to make payment).
