VAT Exemption Rules
Do you qualify for VAT relief on Goods?
If you are chronically sick and disabled with an ongoing or permanent medical condition and the goods are for your personal or domestic use, you may be able to purchase the goods VAT free.
What HMRC mean by ‘chronically sick or disabled’
For VAT purposes, you are chronically sick or disabled 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.
A condition which is being treated by the medical profession as a chronic sickness (an ongoing, long term health condition).
For VAT purposes, the term ‘chronically sick or disabled’ doesn’t include a person who is only temporarily disabled, for example, with a broken limb, or elderly, but isn’t chronically sick or disabled.
Not every item can be purchased with VAT relief, as some items have not been approved by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC) to be sold exclusive of VAT. Where items have been approved for purchase exclusive of VAT, Euromobility displays the prices online, both inclusive and exclusive of VAT. Some items display only one price, inclusive of VAT, which means the item has not been approved for sale with VAT exemption.
When placing your order on-line, you will be asked to complete a VAT declaration, and to enter your specific medical condition (such as Diabetes, Arthritis etc.) and the price will be calculated exclusive of VAT at the current rate (currently 20%).
For items purchased in the showroom, or by telephone, a VAT form can be completed at point of purchase and our sales team will help and advise you on this.20 January 2016
