Covid situation
My client owns some commercial and residential properties. The commercial properties consist of shops and currently these are closed due to the coronavirus situation. The client is sympathetic to the situation of these tenants and is giving them a rent holiday. However some of the properties have residential flats above the shops and those properties will not have a rent holiday.
Should my client still charge VAT on the residential portion of the rent? VAT has been charged previously on the commercial and residential rent where the property has been opted.

Some input VAT may have been recovered incorrectly.
