Disability Aids: VAT
- Question
-
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she has considered reforming Schedule 8 of the Value Added Tax Act 1994 to help increase levels of support for small businesses selling disability and assistive technology products online.
- Answer
-
The Government recognises the vital role that disability and assistive technology products play in improving people’s lives and supporting independent living. Under the UK’s VAT regime, the zero-rate of VAT applies to certain goods supplied to disabled people for their domestic or personal use. The application of the zero-rate balances support for businesses and consumers with the need to protect the public finances.
