VAT relief on wig purchases for cancer patients

Did you know that you can get relief from paying 20% VAT when you purchase a wig? Cancer patients are classed as disabled and as such are exempt from VAT on a wig purchase.

For more information go to:

Reliefs from VAT for disabled and older people (VAT Notice 701/7) - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
