Many people don’t realise they may be VAT exempt when it comes to ordering a personal pendant alarm.
HMRC Get VAT relief on certain goods if you have a disability
To summarise If you, or the person you are buying the pendant alarm for, have a condition that requires regular medication, are chronically sick or are registered disabled then you may qualify for VAT exemption.
How do I order my indi-pendant personal alarm if I'm VAT exempt?
When you order your indi-pendant Personal Alarm online, there is a declaration section please complete the form & submit it with your order.
We have to retain this information for VAT inspections. HMRC may ask us to provide the details that have been submitted.
If you do not complete the declaration we have to charge VAT at the full rate.
