Adding your own output VAT on a bill to out of scope charges

Hi all. I have a query on whether to be charging our output VAT on a bill to our client where we have paid an out of scope fee on behalf of the client. For example - if we receive an invoice for £1,000.00 for a financial dispute resolution mediation meeting between two parties and a private Barrister, the invoice is addressed to us as out of scope of VAT as it falls under the scope due to their yearly income. Would we then bill the fee to our client as £1,000.00 plus our output VAT of £200.00 as we are deemed to have added our professional service to the charge by reviewing the meeting notes and progressing their case? Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
If it is just a recharge then you would have to add 20% to the recharge.
You could only consider this recharge  to be Outside The Scope if it is deemed as a disbursement.
Please see the guidance at: VAT guide (VAT Notice 700) Section 25
Thank you
