To be eligible for VAT exemption, the government states that you must fit the following criteria:
- You or the person you purchase the Liquid Level Indicator for has a physical or mental impairment that has a long-term and substantial adverse effect on your/their ability to carry out everyday activities; with a condition that the medical profession treats as a chronic condition, such as arthritis; or
- A person with a terminal illness; or
- Charities
On our website, we operate under the assumption that you or the person you are purchasing the kettle for has a disability or impairment. This means that you are opted-in for VAT exemption until you reach the checkout. All prices on our website are excluding VAT.
Once you reach the checkout, you will be asked if you are eligible for VAT exemption. If you meet the criteria above, then you can click on the ”Disability VAT Exemption” option and you can purchase any of our products without having to pay the VAT.
For example, the Liquid Level Indicator is £22.00 including VAT, but without VAT it is only £18.33.
Before you can move onto the payment stage of purchasing your Liquid Level Indicator, you will need to fill out our short VAT exemption form. Here we ask for:
The name of the person to which VAT exemption applies
- The full address of the person
- Reason for VAT exemption
- The name of the person purchasing on our website
- The date of purchase
All of this information is collected over our secure connection and we keep it safe and completely confidential.
If you do not meet the above criteria, you must click ”No” and you will see that the VAT has been added to your kettle order. You can continue with the purchase then in the usual way.
Of course, if you have any issues or queries around VAT exemption, please contact our Customer Care Team. They will be happy to help.
