Questions

  • Do I have to show proof of my disability?

    No, declaring that you have a medical condition or disability is self declaring. You don't need to provide any documentation or sign any forms to declare your illness or disability.

  • Can a business be VAT exempt?

    Businesses will be charged the current rate of VAT for all items. Only the likes of charities who are purchasing the product for someone can claim VAT exemption.

  • Are all your products VAT exempt?

    Some products will have to include VAT as mandatory. This is because these items are not classed as a medical aid and can be used in by someone without an illness or disability. For example, tables are typically VAT inclusive.

  • I haven't been diagnosed with anything but still need your products, what should I do?

    You don't need to have been formerly diagnosed by a medical professional to declare VAT exemption. For example, a lot of our customers have arthritis due to their older age, but have not been medically diagnosed.
