How does one invoice international clients? Obviously you make out an invoice and send it... BUT, what is involved from a VAT and exporting perspective?

The detail: it looks like I am going to have an international client on my books soon and we'll be invoicing mainly for services (there will also be some products, but we'll come back to that later). Do I need an exporter code to invoice for services?

My guess is that the invoices will not be VAT invoices - is that correct?

Is there anything that I need to be aware of with regards to that money being paid into my account? Any exchange control related issues? I'm sure there will be bank charges, but that is par for the course.

Any other potential issues that I need to consider?
