Reimar Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 This year, will Alamy provide information on UK magazine and book publisher buyers to identify DACS eligible sales for RF images, or are they going to have to take on more staff to do it for us? I know which I would prefer, being a DIY guy myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultanpepa Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 I've never claimed a DACS payment and to be honest I wouldn't know how to. I'll probably let Alamy do it for me this year even if it only gets me a few dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyab Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 How do we find out the ISBN for the RM images? Im trying to fill my form out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels Quist Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I was on my way to do it last time - and it was to be dealt with - some would perhaps say a piece of cake. I registered and did most of the work - I stopped, however, when I found a discrepancy in the numbers I found and the numbers Alamy found. The same day I learned in the forum that it was due to the RF not being traceable. PS For any questions do a Google search on Alamy Forums posts - I am quite sure all of the problems were dealt with last year. But I am not going to spoil my summer now http://discussion.alamy.com/index.php?/topic/2767-dacs-claim/page-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Alamy won't provide the information. Either you find examples yourself or you let Alamy do it and pay the 50%. Personally I have enough ISBN and ISSN numbers myself. I submitted as soon as I got the email yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 DACs are aware of the problem. In their small print it says that you can alternatively provide an agency list of those sales used in UK mags and books. Last year I downloaded my sales history and edited out irrelevant sales (Non UK, newspaper,commercial etc etc) and sent that along with a list of the ISBNs that I was aware of. I have done the same this year, and, fingers crossed, that should do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Yates Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I understand that the claim is for UK publications only. Does a worldwide licence also become claimable,seeing as worldwide also includes the UK?. Regards Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 How do we find out the ISBN for the RM images? Im trying to fill my form out... Go over to Amazon and type in your name/Alamy. This way you might have some images turn up and you can also copy the ISBN numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Worldwide does include UK. We could so with a DACS sticky thread. On their advice I send a sales summary screenshot for last year (mht archive file) and a net revenue spreadsheet with licence type and territory covering all sales since I started. DACS sort out the info they require. On the online form I put all the ISBNs and ISSNs that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vpics Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 On the online form I put all the ISBNs and ISSNs that I have. But you only need to put in three of each (for books and magazines). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it on the spreadsheet as a footnote anyway. There aren't that many. They really just want an extra one if you claim to have enough for a higher category.

Personally I have enough ISBN and ISSN numbers myself. I submitted as soon as I got the email yesterday. They haven't so far (hey Alamy - charity begins at home ) Since I didn't see an Alamy e-mail this year about their 50% plus "expenses" offer, are we sure it's still on the table?

cbimages Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I'm going to try it myself this year, instead of paying half to Alamy. So, can the experts please see if I'll be doing it correctly as follows: I'm in Australia, so I should complete the form online, print out and sign. Print a copy of my Alamy sales spreadsheet, (plus UK & world sales from other agents?) edited to exclude all but UK & Worldwide sales. Fill out the Declaration of Residency Form, and add my current tax authority residency certificate (to reduce taxes withheld). Either post or scan and email. Does it sound right? Anything I've missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Send an mht archive file of the year's sales as well (the page with the thumbnails).I don't bother to edit the spreadsheet- DACS extract what they need. IIRC 'EU' includes UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSnapper Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 "Print a copy of my Alamy sales spreadsheet, (plus UK & world sales from other agents?) edited to exclude all but UK & Worldwide sales." for books , magazines and UK based television only, remember.... km Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
