How do I know which products are eligible for VAT Relief?
Any products on our website which are to specifically aid disability or those with chronic illness will have an eligibility notification by them. These products can be purchased excluding VAT.
Am I eligible?
VAT Relief will apply if the goods are for personal or domestic use and you or the person you are buying the product for have any of the following conditions:
- A physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon his or her ability to carry out everyday activities;
- A condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness.
- A terminal illness.
You will not qualify if you are temporarily disabled or incapacitated, for example, suffering a broken limb.
If you are unsure, you should seek guidance from Notice 701/7 VAT reliefs for disabled people or the HMRC National Advice Service on 0845 010 9000.
