To quality for VAT relief you must ensure that the VAT Relief checkboxes are selected at checkout, along with stating the precise medical condition. Assuming you meet the criteria, VAT will not be added (unless a particular product has compulsory VAT).

Orders that are processed without having ticked the exemption box will include the standard VAT charge.
