Corrective Exercise Service VAT Exempt

In July of 2008 Ambition Health and Performance became the only UK company to attain a VAT exemption on its Corrective Exercise Services. This was the result of 4 years of negotiations with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) who recognise that the service provided is in the clinical interests of a patient for tax purposes can be placed on the same level as other medical services. This means that the service is exempt of VAT normally charged at 17.5%. This is s vindication of our hard work since 2001 in developing clinical exercise designed to take a patient out of pain, dysfunction or weakness and to achieve better levels of function performance than ever before.
