Self-billing software
Self-billing invoices for self-employed contractors
Under HMRC's VAT Notice 700/62, a customer may issue invoices on a supplier's behalf only with a written self-billing agreement, and invoices must carry the required details. Zerity raises self-billed invoices for your self-employed contractors, run alongside their compliance records, for UK operators running a self-employed or subcontracted workforce across one or more sites.
Who it's for
UK operators running a self-employed or subcontracted workforce across one or more sites.
HMRC VAT Notice 700/62
Read the rule on GOV.UK: HMRC VAT Notice 700/62. The agreement needs a start date and an expiry date, and the expiry can follow the contract term. HMRC advises reviewing agreements every 12 months.

Questions
What is self-billing software?
Self-billing software raises the contractor invoice from the agreed rate and the days worked, and keeps the PDF. A written self-billing agreement has to be in place first.
Does Zerity make the HMRC arrangement compliant?
No. Zerity keeps the self-billing agreement, the invoice and the record. You still follow HMRC VAT Notice 700/62. The software does not make the arrangement compliant on its own.
What must the agreement contain?
The agreement needs a start date and an expiry date, and the expiry can follow the contract term. HMRC advises reviewing agreements every 12 months.
What does it cost?
From £6 per active driver, across every site you run, on the same plan.
Is this customer invoicing?
No. This page is the self-bill you raise for the self-employed contractor, not a customer-facing invoice for the job.
