To claim VAT relief, the individual or individuals living at the delivery address you provide, must have a relevant disability such as: Diabetes, Arthritis or Stroke for example.
This provides the opportunity for relief to be claimed even
if you are buying a product on behalf of someone that is entitled to VAT
exemption.
If you would like to find out if you are eligible or are in
any doubt as to your status, please check with your local Customs and Excise
VAT office (Their Helpine is: 0845 302 0203) who will be able to confirm your
eligibility or visit the following Government website: www.hmrc.gov.uk

disabled or buying on behalf of a charity, you will be given the opportunity to
adjust the tax as you checkout from the www.mobilitycareaids.co.uk website.
This is very clear and straightforward and requires you to simply check a box

Do I Qualify for Zero Rate VAT ?
The disabled and chronically sick qualify to buy certain
products in the UK without paying VAT at the standard rate.
Many products available via www.mobilitycareaids.co.uk are available without paying VAT.
These products are highlighted within the product
description and marked clearly upon checkout. And can be found by typing and
entering "VAT EXEMPT" within the home page search bar.
Disabled or chronically sick people do not have to pay VAT
when they buy any product or equipment that has been designed solely for people
with a disability or on the adaptation of equipment so they can use it.
The goods that are bought in this way are described as
'zero-rated' or 'eligible for VAT relief'.
However please note that, not everything that is supplied to
disabled people is zero-rated for VAT.
VAT law states that you must be ‘chronically sick or
disabled’ to buy at zero rate VAT.
A person is only deemed to be chronically sick or disabled
if they have a physical or mental impairment/condition that has a long-term and
severe effect on their ability to undertake and carry out their day-to-day
lives.
The condition must also be one that doctors treat as a
chronic sickness or illness. The terminally ill also qualify.
A person with a temporary injury like a broken arm or leg
would not qualify for VAT relief. Neither would a frail elderly person who is
able bodied.
A product or service must also be supplied for the
individual's 'personal and domestic use'.
This means you cannot buy at zero rate if the products are
or will be used for business purposes, or if the end user is staying/living in
a hospital or nursing home, as part of their medical or surgical treatment or
with any form of care they are receiving.
VAT Exemption is for most people who are chronically ill,
but if you are at any point unsure, then please call your local Customs and
Excise VAT office (Their Helpine is: 0845 302 0203) or us during the hours of
9am-7pm Monday-Friday.
