VAT relief for power wheelchair

I am needing some advise. Is there a limit on the number of items you can get VAT relief on?

I have a power wheelchair provided to me from the NHS and a power wheelchair that I bought with VAT relief 3 years ago that is not suitable for me at the moment. I now need a power wheelchair for the upstairs of my home so that I can get to the toilet independently. Can I apply for VAT relief for a third wheelchair?

THANKS in advance for any help with this 🙂

Hi @Avril48. I've looked at the rules around this and there was no mention of a limit on how many items you can get VAT relief on, so you should be fine as long as you're following the other rules listed. Hope that helps!
