VAT Exemption for Wheelchair Users

As a VAT registered Ford Dealer you are entitled to sell the new Galaxy Liberty to your customers free of VAT as the Jubilee converted Galaxy has been
designed and permanently adapted for the carriage of a disabled person who is a wheelchair user. 
The 'qualifying' purchaser can be:-

the actual wheelchair user OR
the parent of a wheelchair user
the family member of a wheelchair user
the partner of a wheelchair user
the guardian or carer of a wheelchair user AND

. . . . .  the vehicle is supplied for the domestic or personal use of the wheelchair user who may remain in their wheelchair or transfer to any seat within the converted vehicle 
Note: To qualify for exemption from VAT it is essential that the vehicle is converted BEFORE invoicing the customer.

Both new and used vehicles qualify under the scheme.
Clearly used VAT Qualifying Vehicles offer a financial advantage over Margin Cars 

Who else could qualify Who does not qualify 

The New Galaxy Liberty can also be supplied free of VAT to certain Registered Charities for the benefit of a specific disabled person or persons for domestic or personal use.

Where the vehicle has any commercial use the exemption does not apply.

For example :
Nursing Homes, Taxi Operators & Local Authorities who may reclaim VAT in the normal way if registered.

What proof of disability is required How do you deal with the VAT 

No formal documentation or proof of disability is required other than a simple written declaration from the customer confirming that the criteria is fulfilled.
