Importing paintings, which are not only my personal belongings but also that I painted myself

Hello. Sometimes I go abroad to EU couyntries on artist residence. How do I import the paintings back to the UK? (Im UK taxpayer and tax resident in the UK). Do I pay any duty? Is there a restriction as to the number of paintings?

if you intend to sell these paintings then Import taxes are payable. The taxes liable are according to the Sell price. If they are considered to be your personal belongings , they can be brought back without paying taxes. this is my understanding

Hi Katamar
Please refer to below guidance on Bringing goods into the UK for personal use.

Thank you. 

If you are bringing the items back yourself in your luggage and they are for your own use then you should look at the personal allowances for travellers. The allowance is £390 for goods other than alcohol or tobacco. https://www.gov.uk/bringing-goods-into-uk-personal-use
