VAT relief and Parkinsons

Do people with Parkinsons qualify for VAT relief on eg building works? If so, how do we go about claiming it? We are in the process of having a new shower fitted as my husband can no longer use a bath. It would be most helpful if the 20% VAT quoted on the works didn’t have to be paid.

Hello, we had our bath removed and a walk-in shower installed for my husband a few months ago. I think you could be eligible for VAT exemption but the company doing the work obviously has to be VAT registered. Good luck with it all. It’s made such a difference to my husband… and me! Only wish we’d done it sooner. Jean
