Also, Antiques Trade Gazette is not responsible for when your local sorting office delivers your newspaper. We despatch it on time to go into the mailing system but we do not bring it directly to your door ourselves. If your copy is regularly late please discuss the matter with your local sorting office.

In August and December we publish a double issue with no issue the following week (because we publish 50 times a year not 52) – we receive more calls about that than anything else! Three other editions of the 50 that we publish are digital-only issues - the issue is available online, it is not printed and mailed out. These issues coincide with some of the quietest weeks of the year for the antiques trade.

Is there VAT on a print subscription?

Print subscriptions are zero-rated for VAT so you will pay no VAT on top of the print subscription price.
