The government announced at Autumn Budget 2021, that the import of dental prostheses would be exempt from VAT if the prostheses are imported on behalf of or by registered:

  • dentists
  • dental care professionals

Following Royal Assent on 24 February 2022, importers who fell within that description can now retrospectively reclaim overpaid VAT from 1 January 2021.

This brief explains how businesses can claim a repayment of any overpaid import VAT on imports made between 1 January 2021 and 27 October 2021.
