The best that the prosecution can do is to use you as a prosecution witness in case such a crime is detected. By this, I am presuming that you are not a VAT registered customer. This means that you only obtain an invoice for the purposes of your personal accounting or income Tax returns filing.

The responsibility of charging, collecting and accounting for VAT is placed on the VAT Registered supplier. If he or she supplies taxable goods or services without charging VAT, upon discovery, the same taxes would be recovered from him/ her.
