Given the considerable affect that taxation can have on international art transactions, and the complexity of the field, it seemed paradoxical that a guide to global art taxation had yet to be produced.

We hope that this manual - which we consider to be a sort of art tax « bible » - will provide professionals and collectors with thorough, accessible information on art and taxation.

The 2015 edition of Art and Taxation for the Global Collector covers over 100 countries, from major territories to tiny tax havens. The guide expands upon its previous edition, providing details of arts sponsorship initiatives globally, as well as the conditions affecting the import and export of artworks.
