VAT RELIEF
VAT Exemption and VAT Relief are two phrases you may have heard a lot when looking at mobility products.
Most of our products have two prices - one with and one without VAT. VAT Relief is available on products specially designed for use by those with a long term medical condition or illness in a personal or domestic setting.
We hope that this guide will offer some explanation of who and when you can claim VAT Relief as well as the process of how to claim VAT Relief at the time of ordering online and in store.
Why Two Prices?
Most of the products on this website have two prices - this means that this product qualifies for VAT relief and can be purchased without paying the VAT.
This status is given to products which are specifically designed to be used to relieve the symptoms of a chronic illness or disability.
Where a single price is shown, the product does not qualify for VAT relief and the price includes VAT.
Am I Eligible?
Where two prices are shown for a product, the lower price (which excludes VAT) is available to those who are chronically sick, disabled or terminally ill. Chronically sick means that you have an illness that is likely to last a long time (such as arthritis, angina, etc). Disabled means substantially and permanently handicapped by illness or injury.
You do not have to be registered disabled to claim relief from VAT, but the nature of your illness or disablement must be specified in your declaration.
Unfortunately you do not qualify if you are elderly but able-bodied or if you are only temporarily disabled or injured.
How do I claim?
Claiming VAT relief is simple and quick. There are no assessments and you do not need to provide medical proof of any disability or condition. You simply need to fill in a quick form either online, in person or through the post.
Online
You will be asked whether you wish to claim relief from VAT during the checkout process. If you do wish to claim you will just need to state the illness or medical condition you are suffering from and tick to confirm that you wish to claim exemption and that the information you have provided is correct. It's that easy!
In Store
When buying an item in store it is just as easy to claim VAT relief as it is online. Our friendly staff will provide you with a simple form to fill out where you simply need to list your condition, name, address and provide a signature. It takes under a minute to fill out and can help save you a lot of money.
By Phone
If you would like to place your order by telephone and wish to claim VAT relief, we will have to charge you the VAT initially and then refund it to you once we have received a signed declaration. Once we receive your telephone order, we will send your goods to you along with a VAT declaration form for you to sign and send back to us using the Freepost address provided. Once we have received your signed declaration we will refund you the VAT difference to the same card you paid with.
We are required to retain a copy of your declaration and it may be passed to HM Customs & Excise as evidence of your eligibility. Your data is stored securely and will never be used for any marketing purposes or given to any 3rd parties. If you are in any doubt whether you qualify for VAT relief, please click here to email our customer services or call 01444 253 300. Alternatively, you may want to contact your local Customs & Excise office directly.

Details / Alber E-Motion M25 Power Wheels
You can combine the e-motion drive wheels with almost any wheelchair using two discrete adapters. While moving, sensors built into the push-rims measure your drive movement and provide you with the desired motor power. This allows you to move, steer and brake your wheelchair with very little effort. Each e-motion drive wheel has a weight of only 7.8 kg making it one of the lightest active add-on drives on the market.
e-motion gives you that extra boost you need to conquer each day, including the extraordinary things in life, on your own. With a support speed of up to 8.5 km/h* and a range of up to 25 km, you can reach your destination with ease and minimal assistance. Thanks to the built-in lithium-ion batteries, you no longer have to worry about recharging in between journeys and can enjoy your independence to the full.
Whether it's longer distances, slopes or a few kilos more in your luggage, e-motion supports you in every situation, even when braking downhill. This is ensured by its highly efficient and silent electric motors. With e-motion, you can expand your range of action, keep moving and train your vital functions. At the same time you permanently protect your muscles and joints from overwork. This way you will always stay active and reach your destination with ease.
The ECS remote allows you to switch the e-motion drive wheels on and off easily from your seat, and switch between two different assistance levels to suit both indoor and outdoor use. A learning mode is available for those with less experience, which gently introduces you to the handling of e-motion with a particularly smooth setting. If required, you can use the ECS remote to activate the patented roll-back delay of the e-motion drive wheels. It automatically holds you on the spot for 5 seconds as soon as you let go of the push rim when driving uphill. This leaves you with enough time to reposition your hands without the wheelchair rolling backwards.
