The Government has made no such assessment. Like other licensing schemes run in the UK, the collection of artist’s resale right is managed by collective management organisations on behalf of artists. These organisations, which include DACS and the Artist’s Collecting Society, are mandated by artists to collect on their behalf, and are responsible for publishing information on artist income generated from the resale right.
