[BCAB] VAT exemption on VoiceOver products Jackie Cairns 18 Oct 2012 09:50 BST
All, I had the opportunity of visiting the Apple store in Belfast yesterday. While there, I discovered that people who are registered as blind, deaf or deaf-blind are entitled to receive VAT exemption on VoiceOver products. That is to say, the Mac range, iPad, iPhone, and iPod range. This does not include any accessories. All you need to do is take some kind of proof if your impairment is not obvious, and complete and sign the VAT exemption form a store staff member will give you. You can then purchase your VoiceOver product there and then. This information was offered to me without my even thinking about asking as I had absolutely no idea Apple products come under VAT exemption. I thought you might like to know. Kind Regards, Jackie Cairns
