Disability VAT Relief (Exemption)
If you are disabled or chronically sick, you do not have to pay VAT on equipment or services that have been solely designed to aid you with your disability or illness. It is a common misconception that you need to be registered disabled to qualify for VAT exemption but this is not actually the case.
Who is eligble for VAT Exemption
You are eligble for VAT exemption if:
- You have a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon your ability to carry out everyday activities
- You have a condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes
- You are terminally ill
It does not include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb.
If a parent, spouse or guardian acts on behalf of a 'chronically sick or disabled' person, your supply is treated as being made to that 'chronically sick or disabled' person.
All goods must be for your own personal use and not purchased on the behalf of another or for resale.
