On 16 October 2023, the UK Government announced that all references to Euros found in the Artist’s Resale Right regulations would be replaced with references to GBP from 1 April 2024.

This means that ARR generated from UK sales completed from 1 April 2024 onwards will be calculated in GBP and not EUR.

The ACS ARR calculator can help you determine the royalties to be paid on secondary sales in the UK.
