VAT relief

If you have a disability or long-term illness, you may be able to buy some of our products without paying any VAT. 
To get the product VAT free your disability has to qualify. For VAT purposes, you’re disabled or have a long-term illness if:
  • you have a physical or mental impairment that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities, for example blindness
  • you have a condition that’s treated as chronic sickness, like diabetes
  • you’re terminally ill
You do not qualify if you’re elderly but not disabled, or if you’re temporarily disabled.
You’ll need to confirm in writing that you meet these conditions.
Please fill in this form and send it to info@marksteypharmacy.co.uk. We will then issue you a refund to you.
Examples of goods that are not zero-rated include:
  • plates or pins for use in repairing broken bones, bandages, plasters or other wound dressings as they’re not designed solely for relief of severe impairment or severe injury
