Overpaid by previous agent

[mayamiko]

I have just received notification from a previous agency that I have been overpaid. The invoice that was overpaid did not include VAT but in their invoice requesting funds they have added VAT. Is this correct?

Thanks

Are you VAT registered?

Regardless work out how much they overpaid you and pay them back including any VAT if you are VAT registered.

Legally if you think an invoice is wrong you calculate the amount owed , pay it and show why their invoice was wrong.

No I am not VAT registered. I didn’t include VAT on my invoices

Then do not pay them any VAT just pay the amount they overpaid.

Did you not notice they overpaid your invoice when you reconciled your accounts?

And do something with a credit note IIRC.

Would you even need a credit note if the invoice was correct? I get the impression this is the case.

If the op did invoice too much then yes I think a credit note is needed.

OP - Ask your accountant.

Yes that sounds right. Years since I did one of these.
