Paying ARR royalties

You only need to tell DACS about sales that qualify for ARR royalty payments.

DACS ARR submissions team

How it works

Art market professionals – galleries, auction houses or art dealers – are responsible for submitting details of any UK sales that are eligible for ARR. DACS sends regular requests for sales information, but you can send us sales details without a request.

By UK law, you have to pay ARR through a collecting society like DACS. You cannot pay the artist directly.

You can submit sales details to us at any time. We send you a request for sales information in January, April, July and October.
