Hi there, I manage a UK based events venue, which companies etc. hire to throw events/live music shows. We have a French-based company looking to put on an event within the space. They have claimed that given they're French-based they are exempt from being charged VAT by UK companies and as such, they would not need to pay VAT on the room hire fee for the evening. Would this be the case? Thanks in advance. Thanks
