Hahaha! You couldnt make it up. Bunch of incompetents. Wasnt parity by any chance?

TBH, they'll probably try and do an adjustment for your next billing period but, what's good for the goose and all that! Make 'em jump through hoops for it!

but when they do ask for it back, make sure you get them to fill in complicated paperwork and then wait a couple of months.

Demand that they issue a credit note!

^^^ WHS.

If you're VAT registered, the agency cant just decide not to pay the VAT to you. If they start to piss you about, threaten to grass them up to HMRC for VAT evasion!

Yes - if they don't then it's VAT fraud, which could cause them one or two minor problems to deal with.

Mind you, they probably have no jobs going at the moment, so at least they will have something to do....

Mistake on Invoice

I made a mistake on an invoice a while ago. (before the VAT change) It was a 5 week month so added an exra line on the spreadsheet, but forgot to include an extra weeks VAT in te total. I think the agency will pay up - though they are making me jump through hoops to get it. Originally I just sent them a VAT invoice to cover the missing week, but now they want a credit note for the incorrect invoice plus a corrected invoice. The only problem I can see now is with the VAT change last month and the credit note is dated this month etc.

Are agencies obligied to pay this missing VAT ?
