Hi Brian,
That isn't entirely true.
If you buy, a laptop for example, and Jaws or Window-Eyes is installed
before it is dispatched to you, then that is VAT exempt.
For life of me I have never understood why the RNIB charge VAT on some of
the products to which they add speech, I am thinking of the free-view
receivers recorders?
I suspect they are under the mistaken belief that the commercial part of the
product is no exempt, they are wrong.
This does not apply to Apple Products.

Hi Sam,
The VAT rules are pretty clear, if you are purchasing an item which is
specifically designed for a visually impaired person, such as a Braille
Note
taker, this can be exempt from VAT. If however you are buying a standard
item such as an IPhone, this isn't VAT exempt. That said, it is always
worth asking the supplier and see what they say!
Good luck.
Brian.
