A: Yes. As from the 1st of April 2026 items such as these can be donated to a charity without causing a deemed supply to be triggered, as long as the value of each item is £200 or less. So, if each chair is £50, each table £100 and each sofa £150, then you could donate as many as 30 of each, the total cost would be £9000 but as the individual values are less than £200 there is no output tax to declare. See paras 5.5.4 to 5.5.7 of Notice 701/1 Charities.
