VAT Relief on Wigs: What GG Customers Need to Know
If you purchase a wig because of medical hair loss, you may be eligible for VAT relief on your GG.
What is VAT relief?
VAT relief allows eligible customers to purchase qualifying wigs without paying VAT.This means the price you pay may be lower than the standard VAT-inclusive price shown on the website.
Who may qualify?
You may be eligible if you experience hair loss as a result of a qualifying long-term medical condition or treatment.This can include conditions such as alopecia or hair loss connected to cancer treatment, subject to HMRC eligibility requirements.
How much could I save?
If a GG costs £956.40 including VAT, the VAT-relief price would be £797.00 where the purchase qualifies.
The exact amount will depend on the GG and options you select.
How do I claim VAT relief with GG?
During the VAT relief process, you will be asked to complete a short declaration confirming your eligibility.
You may be asked to provide details such as:
- Your name and address
- The condition or reason for your eligibility
- Confirmation that the GG is being purchased for your own personal use
Once completed, the applicable VAT relief can be applied to your eligible purchase.
Do I need a doctor’s letter?
No, however, you will be asked to complete an eligibility declaration.
Does VAT relief change my GG?
No.You can still choose your preferred GG, including the available length, colour, cap size, closure and customisation options.VAT relief relates to the tax applied to an eligible purchase, not the quality or experience of your GG.
What if I am not eligible?
You can continue shopping as normal.
The standard VAT inclusive price will apply to your purchase.
