off setting repair bills against tax

[wizzbilly]

quick question to those who no this area .

i have recently carried out some work for a self employed contractor ( vat registerd ) on there work veicle as a favour to them .

it inatily started as cheap repair but as per uswell it ended up costing more .

all the parts i have purchased i have got in the owners name due to it been his company .

if i give all these recipts to him can he offset this against the tax even though am not a registerd company etc as there all in his name just doing it as a favour realy , am presuming garage bills for work veicles can be offset just wondering if parts can be .

sorry if a bit of a stupied question i no very little about what can and cant be done .

many thanks

Do you run your own business?

Was this activity part of this business?

Did you charge your "customer" for doing the work for him?
