Room Hire, Equipment Hire, Renting Desk Space

Hello,

Hope someone can help with this.

I know room hire is exempt of VAT, but what about if the company charge the additional fee for hire of projector in the room?

Also, they charge a client for renting desk space. Is that vatable?

Many thanks

Diona

I don't think I'm this case the room hire is exempt- is he not supplying a service? Maybe I misunderstood- wouldn't be the first time. My understanding is that it is exempt if it is the room, and the room only

You have come across a VAT hot potato! Usually room hire, even with minimal additional services should be VAT exempt. If the projector hire is an optional extra it is vatable. If it is part of the overall hire charge, it is part of the exempt supply.
Rental of desk space is usually more than the rental of space! It grants the user the right to use other facilities, such as wifi, coffee, telephones, etc. This means it is no longer an exempt rental of space, but a vatable service.
Hope that helps.

Yep, really hot potato :)

Thanks so much Les Howard, that's exactly the answer I was looking for!

All the best,
