Creating an invoice purely for VAT

I have a client who is a subcontractor for one particular company, but this company does not operate like 'normal' contractors - for any work he does they do not accept an invoice from him for work carried out, only for the VAT. Apparently the company has been challenged in court on numerous occasions including by HMRC but it has always been thrown out of court due to some loophole. My client receives a statement every month of the gross pay, the amount of CIS deducted and the net pay - he then sends them an invoice for the VAT and they pay that amount straight into his bank. My question is this: I can record the gross pay & CIS deducted by entering an invoice (even though it won't be sent anywhere, it is just for the sake of recording the transaction), but is there any way that I can create an invoice purely for VAT so that the amount gets entered into the VAT account?
I apologise in advance if this makes no sense... it hardly makes sense to me!

Sorry Mark - You're right.

I missed the "Prices include VAT" instruction.
