VAT

It is possible to purchase a new vehicle at zero-rated VAT if the vehicle is fitted with an adaptation prior to it being registered to yourself.

If you are registered disabled and use a wheelchair there are a number of incentives that have been put in place by the Government to encourage you to get the most out of driving, including VAT relief when buying or leasing a motor vehicle that has been adapted for your use – whether you are the driver or not.

This VAT relief comes with a number of conditions, not least that the vehicle must permanently and substantially adapted, such as the installation of a swivel seat or a person lift, that is supplied and installed before it is registered to the owner.

We have worked directly with thousands of car dealers to adapt vehicles prior to registration, with the savings on VAT – which, for example, would total £4,000 when buying a £20,000 car– going towards the cost of the adaptation.
