Your last few threads of crackpot ideas tocommit fraudmake money craftily, you were still trying to do your accounts yourself. Just wondering what changed and who is doing the books for you now.

Yes, they are a company in the EU.
Yes, they are VAT ge/ed in their country.
I will be providing the service remotely from UK. Does that change anything of the above?

No, it is consultancy services.
Furthermore, the "VAT MOSS" rules for the supply of digitally supplied services (e.g. software, downloads etc.) only applies to B2C supplies, not B2B supplies.
As long as you are satisfied that your customer is business, then as Maslin says, the place of supply will be where the customer belongs (although they do not need to be VAT registered - if they do not have a VAT number you should keep alternative supporting evidence of their business status) and as such it will be outside the scope of UK VAT.
If they are EU-based, you should include a notice on your invoice stating that no VAT has been charged and that the reverse charge applies - the customer will account for VAT at their end. If they are outside the EU you don't need to mention VAT at all.

If this is bespoke consultancy to one client, then it won't fall under those rules.
The digital services stuff is more for "produce once, sell to many" situations. Eg you write an app/ebook/video which you then sell the same thing directly to many different customers.
It sounds like you're just providing a normal service. Assuming your client is in the EU and is a business registered for VAT wherever they are, the place of supply is deemed to be where the client is. From your perspective you should get their local VAT number, and don't charge them UK VAT. From their perspective they'll deal with it via the reverse charge mechanism, which basically means pretend you charged them their local VAT rate, and pretend to reclaim it.

On a second glance there is this
Using the internet, or some electronic means of communication, just to communicate or facilitate trading does not always mean that a business is supplying e-services. Using the internet for the following does not count:
services of lawyers and financial consultants who advise clients through email
educational or professional courses, where the content is delivered by a teacher over the internet or an electronic network (in other words, using a remote link)
The point is really to not get bogged down in admin (VAT MOSS) for something very short term, not that I care I will make them pay 20% more.

Remote work for EU client. Is it digital services?
I spoke with my accountant and they are not sure.
Situation. I will be providing consultancy in form of advice to a client in EU.
They do something IT and need best practices, so I will talk them through via phone and skype. Question is do I charge VAT on their invoices?
That is besides the threshold of £8818, I am not sure if it will be passed, but it might be.
The definition says:
