Closed Remove VAT from text-to-speech voices for computer operating systems

Closed on

Make text-to-speech voices for computer operating systems VAT zero rated, or eligible for UK Disability VAT Exemption.

Assistive technology software applications designed for people who have visual impairment, dyslexia etc are eligible for UK Disability VAT Exemption, however the text-to-speech voices that such software use are not VAT zero rated or eligible for UK Disability VAT Exemption
We ask that text-to-speech voices are given the zero rated VAT status, or UK Disability VAT Exemption eligibility as with other reading aids.
