Actually a computer can be sold free of VAT if it is installed with software 
for the blind at the point of sale. It is the processor unit only, so, this 
means a lap top is completely VAT free if sold with a screen reader or 
magnifier software installed and a desktop system processor unit is free of 
vat, but the monitor, keyboard and mouse and any other accessories are not free 
of VAT.

At Sight and Sound Technology we sell lap top and desktop bundles which 
includes transfer and re-install of screen reader or magnifier software all VAT 
free.

The challenge for us is that without VAT we still struggle to match PC World 
type pricing as they buy 10,000 a time, but we are in the same ball park and we 
do configure and load and then support the whole system which the high street 
retailer cannot do.


Regards
Glenn

No.  It is your software for blind people that you can claim the VAT back 
on.  A computer is not made especially for blind people.
