If you're eligible for VAT exemption, you won’t have to pay VAT on qualifying mobility goods under the VAT relief scheme. Mobility Stirling will charge you the VAT-free price.
You may qualify to buy mobility products VAT-free if you are chronically ill or disabled, and the products are for your personal, non-business use.
According to HMRC, 'chronically sick or disabled' means:
- You have a long-term physical or mental impairment that significantly affects your ability to carry out everyday activities.
- You have a condition recognized as a chronic illness by the medical profession, such as diabetes.
- You have a terminal illness.
Temporary conditions, like a broken leg, do not qualify for VAT exemption.
Examples of VAT-relief eligible products:
- Wheelchairs, powerchairs, and scooters
- Vehicle adaptations (driving aids, swivel seats, wheelchair hoists)
- Adjustable beds (electric or mechanical)
- Toileting aids (commode chairs, frames for toilets)
- Stairlifts
- Rise and recline chairs
- Incontinence products
If you're unsure whether a product qualifies, contact our specialist staff for assistance.
Installation, servicing, or repair of these items may also qualify for VAT relief.
VAT exemption is applied through self-declaration at the time of purchase. You need to fill out and sign a form confirming that you meet the criteria for being ‘chronically sick or disabled.’ A medical assessment is not required.
