VAT on goods sold outside UK

[joshua]

Hi All, 

I run small business which is VAT register in UK and selling outside UK. Overall we know that with B2B within EU we don’t need charge the VAT however we are having issues with below situation. 

We purchase goods from company located in Germany and at this same time they were sold to company within Germany.   
Company from which we did purchase added VAT as they told us that goods will be not leaving country (Germany) however at this same time company which we sold goods question the invoice. 

Is my logic correct ? 

A) – we should not charge VAT and we will be able re-claim paid VAT from UK ? 
– we should add the VAT to the invoice ? 

Thanks, 
Josh
