VAT

Under HMRC Notice 701/7, you do not have to pay VAT on goods intended to assist with a long-term disability or illness, provided they are for personal or domestic use. All PhysioMatic adjustable beds are designed for this purpose and therefore qualify for VAT relief. You will see the “with VAT relief” label next to our prices. Ordering with VAT relief is simple, as explained below:

What products are eligible?

All PhysioMatic adjustable beds are specifically designed to assist individuals with long-term illnesses or disabilities. As such, they are eligible for VAT relief under HMRC guidelines.

What counts as a long-term disability or illness?

Any chronic medical condition that is not expected to improve in the short term qualifies.
For example, purchasing an adjustable bed to help manage mobility, back pain, or other long-term health conditions would qualify for VAT relief.

What counts as 'personal or domestic use'?

The adjustable bed must be purchased by, or on behalf of, someone who intends to use it for personal daily living and not for business or commercial purposes.
Care homes are not exempt unless they are registered charities. However, a resident or their family can purchase an adjustable bed personally to obtain VAT exemption.

How do I order with VAT Relief?

During checkout, simply fill in the short VAT relief form by providing details of your medical condition or illness.
If purchasing on behalf of someone else, please include their name.
Registered charities can also enter their charity number to claim exemption.

If you are not eligible for VAT relief, we will generate an invoice that includes VAT for your order.
