Specialist Clothing and Breast Forms for Mastectomy Customers

There is no VAT charged on any of our specialist clothing items or mastectomy breast forms that are supplied to an individual for their own use after having breast surgery due to breast cancer. 

Before requesting a VAT concession you should refer to HMRC VAT notice 701/7 which can be viewed using the link at the bottom of the screen. It is also accessible from the customer services section of our website.

You will be asked whether you qualify for a VAT concession when you first set up your customer account. During the ordering and checkout process you will also be asked to electronically sign a declaration confirming that you qualify for a VAT concession. We will send you an electronic version of your declaration and retain a copy on your customer record as set out in our Privacy Policy (available from the link at the bottom of this page). Please be aware there are penalties for making false declarations.

Specialist Clothing and Breast Forms for Non-Mastectomy Customers

If you are not exempt from paying VAT on our specialist clothing and mastectomy breast forms, please do not tick the box for VAT relief  when setting up your customer account.  When you are logged into the website all prices will automatically include VAT at the standard rate. 

Other items that are Standard Rated

We charge VAT at the standard rate on all items that are not specialist clothing or accessories such as shrugs, jewellery and handbags. The price of these goods are shown as VAT inclusive. If you qualify for a VAT concession, you will still have to pay VAT at the standard rate on these items.
