If you are disabled you don't have to pay VAT when you buy equipment that has been designed solely for disabled people or which has been adapted for your use.
You will also not be charged VAT on certain services provided. This includes building work to adapt your home and the hire of disability equipment like wheelchairs.
For more information about this see HM Revenue and Customs leaflet 701/7 - VAT reliefs for disabled people. There is also information on the Directgov website.
You can find out more detailed information about help for disabled people in Disability Rights UK's Disability Rights Handbook, available to buy at www.radar-shop.org.uk/.
All our publications are available at www.disabilityalliance.org/shop.htm. You can also place an order by contacting Disability Rights UK on 020 7247 8776 (this is not an advice line) or by fax on 020 7247 8765. All our factsheets are available at www.disabilityalliance.org/fact.htm.
