Hi list,
just thought any Irish people on list might find an e mail I have been
forwarded interesting,
It sounds like they are allowing people to obtain products including
VoiceOver vat free in Ireland now, and this message indicates it covers
people who are blind, deaf, and deaf blind.
So it seems like the evidence is mounting that this is allowed if 3
stores in the UK have said this is OK, and now one in Ireland making 4
known ones.
I have pasted the forwarded e mail below.
As it turned out I got myself a better deal on the iPhone 5 through ebay
than if I had gone to my local store, as I got it reduced by more than I
would have got it just without the vat, still worth knowing anyway for
next year.
forwarded message begins below this line
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,
end of forwarded message
I really think that Neel has been given inaccurate information by hmrc
and others, as surely if vat exemption wasn't allowed, HMRC would notice
if a lot of stores were giving products vat free, one store they might
not notice, but 4 or more stores, come on I am sure that would be
noticed and stopped if not legal,
