True or False: Anchor doesn't have to pay VAT on lift installations because it's a charity?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
- C.
  
  It's complicated
Correct Answer
C. It's complicated

Explanation
I'm sure it's not a surprise by now that it's complicated! The installation of lifts can be zero rated when the supply is made to a charity for the use of a disabled person in their home. As such, if there are "qualifying residents" (i.e. people who meet HMRC's definition of disabled) living at a location, then that location can have a lift installed and pay 0% VAT. However, if there aren't any qualifying residents, then Anchor would have to pay 20% VAT.

Morrisons founded in 1899 in Bradford by William Morrison.
Sainsbury's was founded in 1869 in London by John James Sainsbury
