As for french invoices, i use this phrasing:
--
You gave this contract using your VAT-IdNr.: *
As per "Art. 196 MwStSystRL" the tax liability is transferred to you as service recipient (reverse charge process / TVA due par le client).
--
Since i invoke the same § for the UK invoices, i suspect that it's a germany-specific thing.
Notable is also, that, as others mentioned, i don't deal with non-business customers.
Also yes, i did sign a contract with him that specifically assigned liability as long as i follow his instructions and provide accurate information.
