VAT on post surgery bras?

Hi 

Pocketed post surgery bras and swimwear are vat free so the price shouldn't even include vat in the first place - unfortunately some shops automatically place vat on the ticket.

You certainly shouldn't be placed in a situation at the checkout justifying you have had breast surgery and the guy in the shop needs retraining by their boss so do make a complaint 

If you did pay vat you can claim this back but it shouldn't have to be this way 

Asda have a very good range of post surgery bras, swimwear etc that are vat free and low priced but most are only available online.

Hope this is of some help, G n' J

thank you.

Have other people had the same experience?

Hi 

I bought specific post surgery bras at Marks and Spencer. I didn’t even know about the VAT thing, until the lady on the checkout whispered to me so nobody in the queue behind me could hear about it. I just had to fill in my name and sign on a card that was attached to the bras and got £10 off 3 bras.
