Eu nu plătesc nimic, este o înşelătorie, dacă trebuie plătite taxele, să le plătească clientul tău. Păcat de timpul meu pierdut cu corespondenţa. Eu sunt o persoană serioasă, crezi că românii sunt proşti?
I won’t pay anything, this is a fraud, if the taxes have to be paid, your client should do that. Too bad I have wasted my time with correspondence. I am a serious person; do you think Romanians are stupid?

"să le plătească"--the client is the one who should pay, in the opinion of the person who wrote the text.
"make your client pay them" is similar to "force him to pay them".
I didn't use "let" as in "give him permission".
I suppose you can also say : Your client is the one who has to pay them, not me.
(But the request is for "word by word" translation.)
yes, I understand your point, I just think that we have to get the most accurate version in English...maybe changing it to:
"if the taxes have to be paid, your client should do it." or something like that.
Sometimes a "word-to-word" translation is confusing in the target language. We may change some words or expressions in order to make things clear. See what I mean?
Why do you say the request is a word-to-word translation?
