Understanding VAT Relief
At Discover Mobility, we are committed to making mobility products as affordable as possible. We offer the option to purchase your Discover Mobility product without being charged VAT on your purchase, inline with the VAT relief available on these products. If you have a disability or long-term illness, you may be eligible for VAT relief when purchasing on the Discover Mobility website. All of our products offered on our website are eligible for VAT relief.
Who Qualifies for VAT Relief?
To be eligible for VAT relief, you must meet the following criteria as defined by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC):
- You are chronically sick or disabled and are purchasing the item for your own personal use.
VAT relief is not available for temporary conditions or for products intended for business or institutional use. If you are purchasing on behalf of someone who qualifies, the exemption may still apply, provided the product is for their personal use.
How to Claim VAT Relief
Claiming VAT relief with Discover Mobility is quick and straightforward. When placing your order, you will need to complete a VAT exemption declaration confirming that you qualify for relief.
When purchasing your mobility product, you will be given the option to declare your eligibility at the checkout page. You will need to confirm your name, and the nature of your disability or chronic medical condition. This simple online form ensures that you meet HMRC’s VAT exemption criteria.
There is no need to provide medical evidence or a doctor’s note – your self-declaration is sufficient under UK law. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements, as HMRC may conduct checks.
Which Discover Mobility Products Qualify for VAT Relief?
All of our products sold on the Discover Mobility website are eligible for VAT relief, as they are specifically designed to aid individuals with disabilities. Whether you're looking for a lightweight folding wheelchair, a sturdy powerchair, or a reliable mobility scooter, you can take advantage of the VAT exemption to make your purchase.
