V.A.T, or Value Added Tax, is typically included in the price of goods and services unless stated otherwise. In some cases, you may automatically benefit from VAT exemptions, such as with essential food items. However, there are also V.A.T reliefs available on other products and services if you meet specific eligibility criteria. The primary forms of V.A.T relief are zero rates and reduced rates, both of which we’ll discuss in more detail below.
Certain goods and services provided to disabled individuals for personal or domestic use can be exempt from VAT, known as the "zero rate." In this case, no VAT is charged. This exemption, often referred to as "zero-rated" or "VAT-free," ensures that disabled individuals are not burdened by VAT costs for necessary goods and services. Since V.A.T was introduced in the UK in 1973, governments have recognized that individuals with disabilities should not face additional tax costs when acquiring products that cater to their needs. However, the regulations around VAT relief for disabled people can be quite intricate. Not all items for disabled individuals are eligible for zero-rating, as both the item and the disability must meet specific criteria.
V.A.T relief for disabled individuals is not based on income or benefits received. Eligibility is not restricted to those registered as disabled, and no specific income threshold is required to qualify. You can only apply the zero rate to supplies for:
Disabled individuals
Charitable organizations
