While the following case is not charity related, it offers a very interesting insight into HMRC’s behaviour in some cases.
Realreed Limited (RL), is a company supplying serviced accommodation in over 200 flats. These supplies were treated as VAT exempt. In 2019, HMRC took the view that RL was making taxable supplies of accommodation and raised VAT assessments for unpaid VAT to the sum of £4.8m. This decision regarding the VAT liability of the supply is under appeal to the Firsttier Tax Tribunal (FTT) and the case is yet to be heard.
