Information on claiming VAT relief
In line with the VAT Act 1994, individuals who are chronically sick or disabled can claim VAT Relief on any product that has a "without VAT" price. According to the definition by HM Revenue & Customs a person is "chronically sick or disabled" if he or she:
- Has a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term affect on their ability to carry out everyday activities
- Has a condition that doctors treat as a chronic sickness (e.g. diabetes)
- Is terminally ill
A person with a temporary injury like a broken leg would not qualify, nor would a frail older person who is otherwise well and non-disabled. The following conditions may also qualify for VAT relief in some circumstances; Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Oedema, Heart Disease, Stroke.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are unsure please ask your GP or health visitor as we are not able to give medical advice or diagnosis.
