Although perhaps not fully disabled or wheelchair bound, for many of us, there can still comes a time in life when the simple act of taking a shower, becomes more of a challenge with each passing day. Often, just a bit more space or easier entry, could make all the difference in turning what may be a daily struggle, into more of a pleasurable experience again.

Many of the  models features on our website, provide either extra width; low step entry or a combination of both. For those perhaps with back, leg or hip issues, these particular Steam Showers and Shower Cabins, may indeed fulfil your mobility shower requirements and at the same time, still provide you with all the latest cutting-edge designs and great features.  

For those with more chronic illnesses or disabilities, the known medical and stress relieving power of hydrotherapy means there is also the possibility that such a purchase could be supplied free of VAT. To see if you qualify, please read through the further notes below. There is also a link to a VAT Exempt form that needs to be completed and submitted before you make such a purchase.

To verify the VAT Exempt price of a particular model, visit this Online Calculator here. Enter the published model price [excluding the Delivery cost] plus the cost of related accessories such as a PEV or Pump.

An individual is eligible for VAT Exemption if they are terminally ill, chronically sick or disabled. The ‘illness’ can be either physical or mental providing that the medical profession treats the condition as either terminal or chronic such as Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Arthritis, Multiple Sclerosis, Oedema, Heart Disease or Stroke.

A frail or infirm elderly person, who apart from this is otherwise able bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled with perhaps a broken leg or other limb, would not qualify for exemption.

Importantly, the shower product must be declared as being purchased for personal or domestic use. VAT relief cannot therefore be claimed if you were intending to purchase a shower product for use by a group of people within say a care home, as this would not be for ‘personal use’ by the declared individual.

You can however, make a VAT exempt purchase on behalf of another individual, provided they fit the above criteria and likewise too if you are a charity, making a purchase for a disabled or chronically ill person for their personal or domestic use. For further details visit the HM Revenue and Customs  website regarding VAT reliefs for disabled people HMRC Reference: Notice 701/7. Please note that there are penalties for making false declarations.
