Hi, mateus145:


To apply the VAT refund (Tax free), the purchase must be made by a non-resident (tourist), and request that refund upon leaving the country.

In your case, the buyer (your father's friend) I think is a resident. Even if you pay him what it cost him, it's not a purchase. He is not a merchant who can issue you an invoice charging you VAT to claim later.

Greetings.
