Payment of a commercial invoice with VAT

We are purchasing some taxable material from the UAE, and our main contractor agrees to pay this material cost on behalf of us.

So, in which name should the supplier issue the Invoice, the name of our main contractor or our name?

And also please clarify Input Tax Claim method.

The purchaser/main contractor will buy the goods and pay the cost and VAT - he will receive a VAT invoice from the supplier in his company name/main contractor (not yours, even if it is on your behalf).

Then he, in turn, will raise a VAT invoice to your office. If you are the end user, you will bear the VAT.
