Disabled VAT Relief Scheme for Lift Purchases
The Disabled VAT Relief Scheme allows eligible customers to purchase lifts and other mobility equipment without paying VAT, reducing the overall cost. This relief applies to individuals with long-term disabilities or chronic illnesses who need the equipment to improve their mobility or quality of life. To qualify, customers must declare that they are chronically sick or disabled and that the lift is for personal or domestic use. Eligible products include stairlifts, platform lifts, and other accessibility solutions. Businesses, such as charities, can also benefit from VAT relief when purchasing lifts for use by disabled individuals. At Innovate Lifts Ltd, we guide customers through the VAT relief process, ensuring they understand their eligibility and can take advantage of the savings available. By offering this support, we help make essential lift installations more affordable for those who need them.
