The resale right is an additional compensation fee granted to graphic and visual artists, including photographers, when their original artwork is resold by an art dealer or auction house. The resale right applies when the resale price of the work (excluding VAT) is €2,000 or more. The resale right is calculated as follows:
4% for the portion of the sale price up to €50,000
3% for the portion between €50,000.01 and €200,000
1% for the portion between €200,000.01 and €350,000
0.5% for the portion between €350,000.01 and €500,000
0.25% for the portion exceeding €500,000
However, the maximum resale right per artwork (per resale) is capped at €12,500.
