Duties on Purchases

In Germany, basically for every purchase of an art work dues have to be paid to a state fund that has been installed to support artist's social insurance, the Künstlersozialkasse. Whether dues apply depends on the legal status of the seller.

Keeping Track of Resale Royalties

In the European Community artists participate on proceeds from resales of their works in the art market through resale royalties. Dealers have to pay these proportional dues to a collecting society that distributes them to the represented artists.

Adjust Prices

When you add a work to an offer or an invoice, the price of the work as registered in the work record is automatically copied to the invoice. Needless to say that you can still adjust these prices afterwards.
