Should there be VAT charged to a UK VAT registered company for venue hire in France?

We are hiring a hotel board room in a French hotel to host an event. We are a UK VAT registered events company. Should the French hotel be charging VAT on their invoice or should they zero rate it? Thank you

French VAT should be being charged by the French Hotel. You can't reclaim this on UK VAT return but can submit an EU refund directly to the French tax office using a third party specialist who will submit claim for you, for a fee.

Hi.
As the supply by the Fench Hotel is a supply relating to land then the Place of Supply of the service is in France.
Therefore you would need to discuss this wiith the supplier and the Freanch authorities.
Thank you.
