Hi,
I do to a point, but only if the invoice to me from the supplier specifies
all of them as separate items. If it is there as a bundle and not broken
down, then it may be possible to get away with it.
We usually charge VAT on the monitor etc, and like you say, laptops are
completely exempt.
Personally, and don't shoot me, it is only a personal opinion, I wish VAT
exemption would completely go away. Why should we get VAT exemption on a
screen reader, but sighted people don't on a monitor?
I accept that screen readers are traditionally more expensive but now that
NVDA is in the mix, it is easy to get a good screen reader for free, but it
could be argued that a sighted person can't get a monitor for free. Again,
I am not speaking as a retailer but as little old me.
All the best
Steve

Hi Brian,
Just to add to that, it is a little bit mad, because as I read the regs
Laptops would be entirely exempt, but with a desktop a separate monitor,
external keyboard and mouse would still pay VAT.
I love to know if Steve Nut interprets the regs the same way?
Also I still don't know why the RNIB charge VAT on mobile phones they sell
with talks and similarly the freeview boxes.
I have been having a very wicked thought about apple products, which I will
try out on a pal who is a real wiz on vat and then share it with the
list.Niamh
