FOREWORD

Dr Robert Peter Towers (1927-2010) was a native of Dublin where he qualifiedin medicine in the early 1950s. He had a distinguished medical career asconsultant pathologist to St. Vincent’s Hospital from which he retired in 1992.He was a past President of the Medico-Legal Society of Ireland, of the IrishSociety for Gastroenterology and of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland.He was also first Dean of the Faculty of Pathology at the Royal College ofPhysicians of Ireland and served on numerous committees dealing with themedical profession in Ireland. In addition he was Editor of the Irish Journal ofMedical Science and first Consultant Editor of the Irish Medical Times.

His interest in stamps went back to his childhood in the 1930s and he formedhis collection around the British Empire. It comprised not only adhesivepostage stamps but also postal history, postal stationery and revenue stamps.Over the years he shed his collections of Great Britain, Ireland and, in 1995, hissuperb collection of Grenada, focussing his interests on what is here offered.Towers’ first foray into competitive philately led to a bronze medal at Londonin 1970, followed by a number of gold medals and vermeil at Stampa, the IrishNational Stamp Exhibition. A return to the international scene saw LargeVermeil Awards at Melbourne 1984, Stockholm 1986, Toronto 1987 andWellington 1990, culminating with a Gold Medal at London 1990.

As well as being a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society, London, (and theirIrish representative), Towers was a member (and past President), of the IrishPhilatelic Society (where he served as auctioneer for nearly forty years), TheBritish West Indies Study Circle and the British Caribbean Study Group. Hewas past Chairman of the Federation of Philatelic Societies of Ireland, asignatory of the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists of Ireland and served on thePhilatelic Advisory Committee of the old Department of Posts and Telegraphs.

Value Added Tax (VAT)

Charging of (VAT) at auction

The information shown on this page sets out the way in which Spink intends toaccount for VAT.

i. Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme1. Where possible, we will offer Lots for sale under the Auctioneers’

Margin Scheme. Such Lots can be identified by the absence of anysymbol next to the Lot number in the catalogue and will not besubject to VAT on the Hammer Price.

2. Where Lots are sold using the Auctioneers’ Margin Scheme toVAT–registered businesses, the VAT included within the Buyers’Premium is not recoverable as input tax. Upon request on sale day,we will issue invoices that show VAT separately on both the HammerPrice and the Buyer’s Premium. This will enable VAT-registeredbusinesses to recover the VAT charged as input tax, subject to thenormal rules for recovering input tax.

ii. Zero-Rated Lots1. Limited Categories of goods, such as books, are Zero-rated (o) for

VAT in the United Kingdom. Such Lots are offered under theAuctioneers’ Margin Scheme. In these circumstances no VATelement will be included within the Buyer’s Premium.

iii. Daggered Lots1. Lots which are Daggered (†) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at

20% on both the Hammer Price and the Buyer’s Premium.

iv. Starred and Omega Lots1. Lots which are marked (x) in the catalogue are subject to VAT at 5%

on the Hammer Price and 20% on the Buyer’s Premium which isshown as inclusive of VAT. Lots which bear the Omega symbol (Ω)are subject to VAT at 20% on the Hammer Price and on the Buyer’sPremium. Such Lots bear VAT because the Lot is liable for VAT atthis rate on importation into the EU.

v. Investment Gold Lots1. Lots marked (g) in the catalogue are exempt from VAT on the

Hammer Price and are subject to VAT at 20% on the Buyer’sPremium. A refund of VAT charged on the Buyer’s Premium canalso be made on receipt of proof of business as a collectibles dealer.

vi. Imported Lots1. Lots which are marked (x) and Lots which bear the Omega symbol

(Ω) have VAT charged on the Hammer Price and Buyers’ Premiumbecause they have been imported into the United Kingdom fromoutside the EU. In these cases we have used a temporary importationprocedure, which in effect means that the point of importation isdeferred until the Lot has been sold. At this point the Buyer is treatedas the importer and is liable to pay the import VAT due. We willcollect the VAT from you and pay it to HM Customs and Excise onyour behalf.
