Foal Auction Prinsjesdag uses commission agents scheme

It is increasingly common for foreign buyers in particular to be represented by a commission agent. This has also not gone unnoticed by Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and that is why they can claim a commission from this year.

The commission agent arrangement applies to the Prinsjesdag auctions on August 3 in Ommen and September 17 and 18 in Ermelo. Brokers who purchase a foal for a customer can claim a commission from a certain amount. There are of course some rules attached to this. For example, it is important that the commission agent indicates in writing to the secretariat prior to the auction that he or she is acting for one or more bidders/buyers. When the foal in the auction is awarded to the commission agent and he or she has signed the purchase contract, the commission agent for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is equal to the buyer. With all the obligations that entails. This makes the commissionaire responsible for a correct financial settlement and then he or she will be able to claim the commission after delivery of the foal.
