VAT Relief

You may be eligible to claim VAT relief on Able2Wear products if you, or the person you are purchasing for, are chronically sick or disabled, or if you are buying on behalf of a charity. The government considers a person to be ‘chronically sick or disabled’ if he or she has:

• a physical or mental impairment which has long-term and substantially adverse effects on his or her ability to carry out everyday activities
• a condition which the medical profession diagnoses as a chronic sickness, diabetes or a terminal illness

A person is not considered to be ‘chronically sick or disabled’ if they’re elderly but otherwise able-bodied. It doesn’t apply if they’re temporarily disabled or incapacitated. If you are unsure please ask your GP or health visitor as we are not able to give medical advice or diagnosis.

If you need general advice or have any queries regarding VAT relief entitlement, you can check the HM Customs and Excise, Notice 701/7, VAT Relief for Disabled People where you will be able to find out more information.

The product must be supplied for the personal or domestic use of a chronically sick or disabled person to qualify for VAT relief. It is an offence to make a false declaration.

How to claim VAT Relief

To claim VAT relief when purchasing from Able2Wear, please complete the self-declaration form  when purchasing.
