Important Information

We can potentially supply some (mainly wireless) hearing aid accessories free of VAT to UK residents if certain conditions are met. 

The list of products this DOES NOT apply to includes hearing aids, hearing aid batteries, domes, wax guards, receiver wires, thin tubes, remote controls etc., the only time it can apply with products we supply is if it is specifically mentioned in the individual product listing.

If a product we supply is eligible for this specific dispensation it has to be for personal use only (with no business element), you must reside in the UK and be able to confirm this before shipment by completing the VAT Declaration below before we can ship.

Prices quoted on our website (where this concession is possible) are listed exclusive and inclusive of VAT. If there is no ex VAT price on the listing then zero rated supply is not an option.

If you purchase an item from our website at ex VAT prices and do not complete the VAT Declaration we must add VAT (currently 20%) to the purchase price before we ship (or wait until you complete the VAT Declaration). If you are a parent or legal guardian purchasing on behalf of a minor you must supply their full name as well as yours on the VAT Declaration.

For more information of the VAT Relief concession on the HMRC website click here. Eligibility for zero rate VAT as a UK resident is dependent on these factors;

  • As a hearing impaired person the disability has a long-term and substantial adverse effect upon ability to carry out everyday activities
  • The goods are for domestic or personal use – ‘domestic or personal’ use means that the supply must be made available specifically for the use of an eligible individual. (Excluded from the terms ‘domestic’ or ‘personal’, and not eligible for VAT relief include goods and services used for business purposes for instance.
  • The goods and services are eligible to be supplied at the zero rate – please note certain wireless accessories and NOT the supply of hearing aids / batteries / other accessories are included in this rule.

There is no requirement for you to be registered as disabled to take advantage of zero rated supply, you must simply complete the declaration form below.

If you feel you are eligible for this concession please complete the fields below and click ‘Submit’.
