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 Powered Wheelchair Wheels
The evolution of e-motion M25 offers extra power and a lighter weight in comparison to the previous model. It is one of the few active power add-on drives that can be individually adapted to suit the needs and driving behaviour of any individual using a manual wheelchair. Each wheel weighs only 7.8 kg, a huge 33% reduction from the M15. Ideal for active individuals looking for a powerful and versatile mobility solution to suit a busy lifestyle, e-motion M25 allows you to increase your range and remain active while going easy on your muscles and joints.
The e-motion power drive is unlike any other product on the market and is compatible with almost all wheelchair models and can be retrofitted at any time. Slopes and heavier occupant weights (now up to 150 kg) are no problem as the drive unit continues to work at full power. With state-of-the-art lithium ion battery technology, you can now benefit from a speed of up to 8.5 km/h*. What’s more is e-motion M25 is available in three wheel sizes, in addition to the existing 22 inch and 24 inch versions, a new 26 inch version is available, accommodating a wider range of individuals. With driving sensors in the e-motion unit, both less physically active individuals with limited hand function as well as stronger individuals can experience the same level of comfort. Making e-motion M25 a truly inclusive piece of kit, for anyone looking for a powerful mobility solution to support their active lifestyle.
Take advantage of the smartphone app with the cruise control function, which keeps a constant, set speed with a single push even going up steep inclines! To safely overcome inclines, e-motion features a patented rollback delay that keeps the wheelchair in place, allowing you to comfortably change your grip before continuing on your journey. The free e-motion M25 smartphone app also allows you to track battery charge level, the current speed and mileage, fault indications as well as recommending solutions.
