customer etc

Explanation:
or 'supplier' or 'user' or many other possibilities depending on the context and the nature of the business

the point is that 'dossier' is used more figuratively in French than 'file' in English to refer to the person/company/people represented by the file. I don't think you can just say 'file' or 'dossier' here: inanimate objects do not usually have VAT problems...
