Are You Eligible for VAT Exemption on a Mobility Ramp?

At Craftmasters Property Services, we’re often asked whether our clients can avoid paying VAT on the supply and installation of a mobility ramp. The good news is – in many cases, yes, you can!

What is VAT Exemption?

VAT exemption means that you do not have to pay the standard 20% VAT on qualifying products or services related to disability or mobility needs – including bespoke access ramps.

This can make a real difference to the overall cost, especially for larger modular ramp systems.

Who Qualifies for VAT Exemption?

You may be eligible if:

• You have a long-term illness or disability (e.g., arthritis, MS, mobility impairment).
• You’re chronically sick or have a physical or mental impairment that affects your ability to carry out everyday activities.
• You are buying the ramp for personal use, or on behalf of someone who meets the above criteria.

You do not need to be registered disabled or receiving benefits to qualify.

What Products and Services Are Covered?

VAT relief applies to:

• The design, supply, and installation of access ramps
• Both modular steel systems and timber-built ramps
• Maintenance or adaptation of an existing ramp

Note: VAT exemption doesn’t apply if the ramp is being purchased for a business, care home, or general public access unless it’s for a specific individual.

What Do You Need to Do?

It’s simple – no doctors’ notes or lengthy forms. We just ask you to complete a short VAT relief declaration at the time of ordering. We provide the form and will guide you through it.

How Much Can You Save?

If your ramp installation costs £2,000 + VAT, you’d normally pay £2,400
With VAT exemption, you only pay £2,000 – a £400 saving.
