Steve Nut provided a definitive answer recently for this subject, in that as apple products are not specifically produced or modified for VI use, they are not exempt the VAT.

I contacted the Birmingham Store about this and they informed me that they don't offer such exemption to VI customers. What's so unfair about it is some people are getting away with it when Voiceover products haven't had any adaptions made to them so I don't understand why there is an exemption in the first place. I would be interested to find out if anyone else has visitted the Birmingham store recently. -----Original Message----- From: paul leake Sent: Saturday, December 22, 2012 11:51 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: VAT exemption on VoiceOver products I confirm that after some discussions with the Manager of the apple store in the Trafford Centre, I purchased an Ipad and received the vat deduction. I explained that other stores had ^one this and they checked Apple's policy and then agffeed that it was ok to do it. I specifically went to the apple store as I feared that other general stores would have no idea! Good luck!
