What is VAT Relief?

You almost certainly qualify.

Here’s what you need to know, at a glance:

  • ✅ Prices already shown with VAT relief – savings are included
  • ✅ VAT Relief box is automatically ticked at checkout
  • ✅ Just enter the user’s name + condition – e.g. Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, Parkinson’s
  • ✅ Any long-term health condition counts – nearly all our customers qualify
  • ✅ VAT relief also applies to any required subscriptions – claimed at time of subscription registration

That’s it — no paperwork, no medical proof needed!


Who qualifies?

If you’re buying for yourself or someone else with a long-term health condition or disability, you qualify.

Examples include:

  • Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s
  • Arthritis, angina, diabetes, COPD
  • Any other ongoing physical or mental health condition
  • Also applies if you’re buying on behalf of a charity
  • Temporary health conditions do not qualify (such as a broken wrist)

👉 In practice, almost every customer qualifies.


How do I Claim?

It’s already done for you:

  1. Go to checkout — the VAT relief box is already ticked.
  2. Enter the user’s full name and the condition (e.g. “Alzheimer’s”).
  3. Pay as normal — VAT is automatically removed.


Important to know

  • Claiming VAT relief is normal and expected — it’s how these products are sold.
  • The government requires us to collect a name + condition, but that’s all.
  • We’ve never known HMRC to challenge or question a claim.
  • It’s only an offence to claim if there is no long-term health condition at all.

👉 In short: If you or the person you’re buying for has any long-term health condition, you qualify.
