Vat Reclaim Scheme for Mobility Aids

Claim up to 23% back on Mobility Aids 

If you live in Ireland and have a disability you may be entitled to reclaim VAT on certain products designed to assist a person with a disability in overcoming their disability for performing daily functions or to work.

The item does not need to have been purchased by the disabled person in question, but you may need to offer evidence that the aid or appliance is exclusively used by the person with the disability and is in their sole possession. VAT relief does not apply to service or installation charges.

You can reclaim VAT on items including :

  • Eating and drinking aids
  • Mobility aids
  • Shower Chairs.
  • Commodes
  • Riser-Recliner and Orthopaedic chairs
  • Incontinence products

The following eligibility criteria apply:

  • The eligible individual must reside in Ireland.
  • The eligible individual must have a physical or mental health disability (medical evidence may be requested)
  • The eligible individual needs the aid or appliance to help with daily activities or to work.
  • The aid or appliance must be solely owned and for the exclusive use of the person with the disability.

Simply request a VAT receipt with your in-store purchase or download and submit your sales invoice after shopping on Phelans.ie.
