No, it has applied to the government to be treated as charitable status even though it's not a charity. It is a company and therefore eligible for tax. You can't be both things and yet they've asked the government if they can be an exception - why should they be allowed that?

As for VAT, they can claim VAT relief on other things instead. They'll be able to claim VAT back and other tax reliefs. You can't have it both ways.
