My clients' Vat affairs are fairly simple and straightforward really. However, I've just come across an unusual situation for me.
The client is a limited company that installs audio/visual equipment. The company has a current job installing equipment in a UK property but the invoice is made out to a US individual and being paid from the US. The customer is saying that Vat need not be added to the invoice but surely it should.
Many thanks.

I'm pretty sure that as it's service related and the service takes place in the UK then it is subject to UK VAT rules?
Could do better
Both the above are right as far as they go, but overlook the likelihood that this is a service relating to land, so taxable where the land is, no matter who the customer is.
