Do I qualify for VAT relief?

Under HMRC rules, you can buy the ev¹c without paying VAT if both of the following apply: the user is chronically sick or disabled, and the vehicle is for their own personal or domestic use. Check the examples below, then complete the declaration form — VAT (20%) is removed from your order once it's received.

✓

A long-term physical or mental condition affecting everyday activities

For example arthritis, MS, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, stroke, or a long-term mobility impairment.

✓

A condition treated as chronic sickness

Such as diabetes, heart disease or COPD, where it substantially affects daily life.

✓

A terminal illness

✓

Buying on behalf of someone who qualifies

A parent, carer or family member can complete the declaration for the user — the vehicle must be for that person's own use.

Being elderly or temporarily injured

Age or frailty alone, or a short-term injury like a broken leg, doesn't qualify under HMRC rules.

Business, resale or communal use

Company purchases, demo units, hire fleets and care-home communal equipment can't be zero-rated.

You don't need to be registered disabled or provide proof from a doctor — a signed declaration is sufficient. We're required to keep it on file for HMRC. If you're unsure whether your condition qualifies, contact us and we'll help. There are penalties for making a false declaration. Read HMRC's full guidance on GOV.UK →
