How do I claim the VAT back on a stairlift?

If you buy a stairlift you may be able to claim the VAT back. This does not apply to a rental stairlift.

From Revenue.ie:

You may reclaim Value-Added Tax (VAT) on certain aids and appliances for use by persons with disabilities. The relief applies to VAT on the purchase of aids and appliances designed to assist persons with disabilities.

These aids and appliances are used by such persons to assist in the performance of daily functions or in the exercise of a vocation. The relief is not allowed on services or on the rental of goods.

You can download the most up to date version of VAT form 61A as a PDF here.

Alternatively you can on the Revenue.ie here.

You must have fully paid for your stairlift before claiming the VAT back. We will issue you with a print copy of VAT form 61a with your final invoice.

You cannot claim the VAT back on repairs or services for stairlifts.

You can call Able Plus on 01-8245763 for help claiming your VAT back on your new stairlift.
