Artists to benefit from new arrangements


From 1 December, UK artists will be able to claim resale royalties each time their art is resold through the New Zealand professional art market because new legislation on artists rights entered into force in NZ.

When the UK New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (FTA) entered into force on 31 May 2023, New Zealand did not have an Artists Resale Rights (ARR) regime. The UK-NZ FTA obliged NZ to introduce such scheme within 2 years of the entry into force. New Zealand has passed legislation for their ARR scheme to apply from 1 December. British artists will now earn new royalties when their artwork - such as paintings, sculptures, prints and photographs - is resold in New Zealand.
