Charging Backdated VAT

Hi folks

Sorry, I'm not sure where best to post this. Please move if necessary!

Okay, so I'm having trouble with a client regards invoicing. I'm a limited company, registered for VAT. I got my VAT number in December, and requested they backdate my EDR to last May, which they did.

I attended a HMRC workshop on VAT recently. I spoke to the chap after the lesson, and he instructed me to reopen invoices sent from the date of EDR, apply VAT to them and send them again. Have done this, but one client thinks I'm confused and simply refuses to contemplate that I might be correct. (Grr.)

So I need to send him proof. HMRC have sent me an email but the response I think is probably too vague for this client. If someone can recommend an accountant that won't charge me a lot to send the guy a letter, would really appreciate it.
