I ran a cafe/bar here for a while, and was often asked for an inflated VAT reciept for expenses, or tax returns, my awnser was always no. Some people were fine about it others quite abusive, some came back, some did not.
Spot checks are common here for the VAT, licences and taxes.
I would be the one in trouble if the VAT reciepts did not add up.
Makes me wonder about the Pub manager and his business.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
