I have S.L.E., Chronic I.T.P., Sjogrens Syndrome and had a Splenectomy 13 years ago for ITP does anyone know if this meets the criteria for VAT exemption on certain goods such as a Revitive Circulation Booster. Thank you.

Dear Orchidlily,

You can probably 'Look This Up', either On Line, or- if you have such a facility locally- simply Ask, in a Mobility....or Other 'Disabled Friendly' Outlet (I Hate that word!)

In General Terms' most Dis-abled (that word again) products Are 'VAT Zero Rated'.... in other words no VAT is payable. You could, of cause, contact Revitive yourself- they May even know of an Outlet near you.

Can you let us know please Orchidlily?
