HMRC details

The following details are based on HMRC guidance. We have kept this wording intact for accuracy.

VAT relief is specifically intended for individuals who are "chronically sick or disabled" and require goods for personal or domestic use. 

To be eligible, you must fall into one of the following categories:

  1. Individuals with a physical or mental impairment: These are conditions that have a long-term and significant adverse effect on your ability to perform everyday activities.
  2. Individuals with a chronic condition: These include conditions that the medical profession recognises as long-term illnesses, such as diabetes, arthritis or lymphoedema.
  3. Registered disabled individuals.
  4. Individuals who are terminally ill.

This means that the goods are made available specifically for the use of an individual disabled person.

The following are not ‘personal’ or ‘domestic’ uses and are not VAT-free:

  • goods used for business purposes
  • goods supplied to or for an in-patient or out-patient of a hospital or to or for a resident of a nursing or care home where the goods are for use in the care or treatment provided in the hospital or nursing or care home

If you think that you meet all the conditions for VAT-free goods but have been incorrectly charged VAT you should ask your supplier for a refund. There’s no facility for HMRC to refund VAT to you.If your supplier is not sure how to do this they can contact HMRC for advice. HMRC cannot intervene in disputes between customers and suppliers.
