The WAV no vat is a breach of equality Act even Disability discrimination but who has the law fees to fight this, as said many moons ago Some of us may need a Wav but due to Motability taking away them if you do not work 16 hours or do charitable work you can forget getting any grant for one. I did say once you have a two tier system and start judging disabled into which disability is entitled what then this happens.So in other words one law for one and nothing for the other which is a slippery slope and you should not have to argue your case. You can be severely disabled and have the most complex Adaptations but due to it not being WAV you we will have to pay this unjust tax.
A WAV is permanently and substantially adapted, so VAT does not apply. The same rule can be applied to cars for full time wheelchair users, where a car is permanently and substantially adapted and in these cases no VAT will apply to scheme users.
I see the move, as a means to apply VAT to those that don’t need an adapted vehicle for their disability, in line with the wider VAT exemption rules for vehicles.
