VAT relief on lightweight wheelchairs
Can I buy a wheelchair without paying VAT?
Many of our wheelchairs can be supplied at 0% VAT rather than the standard 20%, where they are for a disabled or chronically sick person, or for someone who is terminally ill, and for their own personal or domestic use. HMRC calls this VAT relief, or zero-rating. There is nothing to arrange beforehand — when you place your order we will ask you to complete a short VAT relief declaration, and a family member, carer or responsible person can complete it on behalf of the person using the product. We keep it with our VAT records, so you do not need to send anything to HMRC yourself. If you are not sure whether it applies to you, ring us on 0333 577 8085, call into any of our stores, or read our full guidance on VAT relief.

Why You Should Choose a Wheelchair That Is Lightweight
Lightweight wheelchairs are a great solution for those looking to head out and about, but with an easily portable and smaller solution than a regular wheelchair. Often slightly smaller and compact, there are still numerous benefits to choosing a lightweight wheelchair:
- Durable materials like aluminium
- Easier to manoeuvre
- Less effort to push
- Usually foldable
- More control when self-manoeuvring
We’ve got a great selection of lightweight small wheelchairs, so you can choose the right one for your lifestyle.

Even lighter than standard models, our lightest wheelchair is just 7.2kg! This type of wheelchair is perfect for those who want enhanced independence, ultimate ease of transport, and better mobility.
Lightweight Self-propelled Wheelchairs
A self-propelled wheelchair that is lightweight is specifically designed to be easy to both move and handle. The large rear wheels make it far easier for the user to propel themselves forward just with their hands. This ensures independence is regained, and the lightweight nature makes it easy to manoeuvre and transport.
Lightweight Transit Wheelchairs
Our lightweight transit wheelchairs are lighter than traditional wheelchairs, which makes them easier to handle and transport. This is true for both users and carers/ loved ones. This type of chair requires a carer or loved one to push if the user can’t move themselves, and the lightweight design ensures there is less strain when pushing.
