Do your prices include VAT?

The current VAT rules allow people who are 'chronically sick or disabled' VAT relief on many of the items we sell. For that reason, the prices shown are exclusive of VAT

How do I qualify for VAT relief?

According to HM Revenue and Customs, a person is chronically sick or disabled if he/she is a person:

with a physical or mental impairment which has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon his/her ability to carry out everyday activities;
with a condition which the medical profession treats as a chronic sickness, such as diabetes;
who is terminally ill

If a parent, spouse or guardian acts on behalf of a 'chronically sick or disabled' person, your supply is treated as being made to that 'chronically sick or disabled’'person.
You can contact the National Advice Service on 0845 010 9000 for more details about VAT Relief for disabled people.

How do I declare that I am eligible for VAT relief?

As part of the checkout process, there is a box to tick like the one shown below, and also a space to enter your condition. If these boxes are not completed, we will have to charge you VAT at the current rate of 20% on your order. Please ensure you have ticked the box if eligible.
