Please all, need some in depth advice. Our company recently provided AV techs & hired equip for a very large event in Monaco - we also needed to supplement this with a local events company (Monaco registered) for additonal labour. We have previously used this company for an event in Cannes a couple of years ago (no TVA - reversed charged), no problems. This time they have charged us 20% TVA, which on this occasion, amounts to approx 8k euros - not a small amount!
as far as i am aware Monaco is as France for vat purposes? I bounced the invoices back to them requesting removal of the TVA - but they have reponded saying that on checking with their "fiscal" office it is to be charged and makes no difference where the customer is based?
i have asked for evidence of this rule/information (unfortunately the language barrier doesnt help) but nothing back so far. can anyone help with this - or can source any definitive information/advice. Im holding the payment back pending this but will need to sort asap. Many thanks to all in advance.
