VAT relief for disabled & older customers
If you have a disability or a long-term illness, you qualify for VAT relief on specific products intended for personal or household use. Please be aware that this exemption does not apply to the elderly, individuals who are non-disabled but frail, or those with temporary conditions.
It's important to note that VAT relief cannot be applied to purchases benefiting multiple individuals, such as those in residential homes. However, you can claim VAT relief on behalf of an eligible person, like a parent purchasing for their disabled child or someone buying for their partner. Charitable organizations can also claim an exemption for products provided to disabled individuals.
