VAT Relief
If you have a long‑term medical condition or disability, you may be eligible to purchase a riser recliner chair without paying VAT. This is known as VAT Relief for disabled customers.
VAT Relief can reduce the cost of qualifying products by 20%, and is available to customers who meet HMRC’s eligibility criteria.
VAT Relief is available to customers with a long‑term illness or disability that affects everyday living. You do not need to receive any specific benefits, and you do not need a doctor’s letter — you simply need to meet HMRC’s eligibility criteria.
HMRC allows VAT Relief for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, mobility issues, neurological conditions, chronic pain, circulation problems, and any long‑term condition that affects your ability to use everyday furniture safely or comfortably.
Riser recliner chairs and adjustable beds qualify for VAT Relief when they are purchased for personal use by an eligible customer. Standard recliner chairs and sofas do not qualify unless they include a medical‑grade lifting or assistance mechanism.
Claiming VAT Relief is simple. At the point of purchase, you complete a short HMRC declaration confirming that you meet the eligibility criteria. We provide the form, help you complete it, and submit it with your order.
You do not need medical documents or proof of disability. HMRC only requires a signed declaration stating that you have a qualifying long‑term condition and that the product is for your personal use.
We apply VAT Relief immediately at the point of sale, reducing the cost of qualifying products by 20%. Our team will guide you through the process, complete the declaration with you, and ensure everything is handled correctly.
