VAT Relief, who is eligible?

To get a product VAT free, your disability has to qualify. For VAT purposes, you’re disabled or have a long-term illness if:

• You have a physical or mental impairment that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities, for example blindness.
• You have a condition that’s treated as chronic sickness, like diabetes.
• You’re terminally ill.
• You don’t qualify if you’re elderly but able-bodied, or if you’re temporarily disabled.

You’ll need to confirm in writing that you meet these conditions. We will give you a form for this.

Eligible goods and services

Usually, all products designed or adopted for a disability qualify. For example, types of:

• Adjustable beds
• Riser-recliner chairs
• Stair lifts
• Wheelchairs
• Scooters
• Medical appliances to help with severe injuries
• Alarms
• Wide fit shoes
• Building work like rams, widening doors, installing a lift or toilet
