Both invoices were addressed to me.
Not sure exactly what you mean by “addressed”.
It’s always best to get the invoices made out to the strata plan, even if the tradesman gives/posts them to you personally to organise payment.
That way you’ll never be personally liable.
Legally, it’s probably only required if your SP is registered for GST, which 4 lots probably isn’t.
Could be just a tightening of their control procedures.
But amazing how much longer it can take SMs to pay invoices when you organise it yourself and don’t use their approved tradesmen.
