I work on TV Productions and we normally pay VAT on actor's fees if the actor is VAT registered. On this occasion the actor's agent has requested documentation is in their name FSO the actor and are charging VAT on the fee. We are currently questioning this under the assumption that we would only pay VAT to the agent on behalf of their client, if their client is VAT registered, but the agent is adding VAT under the agencies VAT number stating that the documents are in the company name and so charging VAT under their company. Any advice would be welcomed here?
