Reclaiming VAT on front door

docmatt

Personally I'd cut the new door in half, give him his half and say you've paid for your half.

Let him do whatever he wants with the invoice and his half of the door. When it's all sorted you can tape it together and paint the tape the colour of the door.

One thing, after you've cut the door, you keep the bit that's on the hinges cause otherwise it's really hard to lock it.

It's in the OP!
If there was no VAT on the bill, do you think he'd be starting a thread on reclaiming it??

Sounds more like the OP doesn't actually know much at all about VAT. You offset the tax not reclaim it . As i said if they are not willing to provide proof of expense by showing a paid invoice then the other person in their lease holder role should tell him to poke off.

Remember that the other person has 3 hats freeholder, leaseholder and LL. OP doesn't know who have role the other person was using when agreed to door change. I am guessing leaseholder since he is willing to split 50/50
