VAT - VAT Exemption for disabled people

In the UK, people with some disabilities enjoy a VAT Exemption on some products such as wheelchairs

person with disability A will pay 20% VAT for wheelchair
person with disability B will pay 0% VAT for wheelchair
It is the same wheelchair, same product, but seller needs to ask question
Question “are you exempt from VAT yes/no?”

If they say yes, then no VAT should be added,if they say no, VAT should be added
This is not product specific, it is person/disability specific

is there a way to do this? perhaps with 3rd party code or app?

I would need to add a question to checkout.
I suppose in a way, it is not hugely different to a promo code, but it’s a question and it changes VAT not price

many thanks

Hey! You can use the custom tax calculations plugin to define your own logic

and if that’s not quite right, you could potentially handle it through a custom discount trigger Ecom Custom Discount Triggers Introduction | Velo

Thanks, can this all be done on the Business Plan? or would I need to upgrade to Business Elite?

Business plan is fine! Only place this wouldn’t work is on a free site because you need to be accepting payments to have taxes
