VAT free

The company has been making improvements across all areas, and this year evolved its product and training programmes still further.  It has also taken measures to make processes smoother and faster to streamline customer experience.

As part of this, the company has been reviewing the VAT position on its aligners in the UK for some years with the intention of making them more accessible for both providers and patients. Today, Jamie Morley, general manager for the UK and Ireland, has confirmed that the HMRC has given an assurance that if Align Technology meets its requirements, Invisalign aligners are exempt for VAT purposes.* Therefore as it currently stands, Align Technology is pleased to announce that it will not charge VAT on all its aligner products.

Jamie announced, “I believe the removal of VAT represents a significant step forward for us, which adds even greater value to our commercial proposition to Invisalign providers. The implication of this decision means that we are now in a position to help all the clinicians with whom we work to develop their financial, as well as practice, growth.”
