VAT and SAD / Chronic Pain

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and chronic pain conditions qualify for VAT relief. SAD lamps and certain pain relief products can be purchased at the VAT-free price when you tick the 'Chronic Condition' box at the order stage to say that you are suffering from either SAD or from a chronic pain condition and that the product is for your personal use. The VAT Office require us to collect this information. You do NOT need a doctor's note, your own signature or that of a parent, guardian, doctor or trustee is acceptable.

Claiming Exemption is easy

When placing an order you will have the option of choosing VAT exemption or not. If you choose the VAT exempt option we will send you a form which will need to be completed and returned with 7 days otherwise you will be charged VAT at the appropriate rate. 

Exemption is activated by signing and returning the form we have sent you. 
No other proof is required, but fraudulent claims could be checked and could constitute an offence. This form can be signed by the person themselves, a guardian, a carer, a parent or a representative.

An example of a fraudulent claim might be for example if a lightbox was purchased as a colour lamp for art work- this would not be a zero-rated supply.

Detailed information is available from the Customs and Excise website.

Items for use in an institution, or if you are re-selling the goods you are not eligible for zero-rating.

If you are in any doubt as to whether you qualify, call one of our friendly Customer Service team on 01704 500505.
