    From their perspective, you've suddenly invoiced them an extra 17.5% that they need to account for in their VAT calculations.

    Send them a copy of the VAT certificate, and they should pay up. It's not worth fighting over, to be honest. It's not worth asking them for their VAT certificate - you aren't charging them VAT, so why would getting theirs be relevant?

        Sorry - it's been suggested before as a valid idea though.

        "You show me yours, and I'll show you mine" doesn't seem to be any better received by an agent than it did in a playground...

            Nope - can't be bothered to search for it, but someone in the same position as the OP was "advised" by another user here to demand to see the agancy VAT certificate before providing their own.

            Not sure who the advisor or advisee where though.
