About to sign a new contract
The agency insists that I have to use their self-billing for my invoicing rather than raising my own invoices on them.
Two points on Self-billing:
1) Does "self-billing by an agency" have any IR35 aspect to it? I guess not. But the opinion seems to be divided in the community / forums.
2) Can i still create my own invoices if I accept to the self-billing with the agency?
Having read the law on self-billing, its clear that I cannot "issue" an invoice on my own to the agency / customer, but my thinking is that maybe I can still create my own invoices (since I want to keep it in my style, with my company logo etc.) but use the same invoice number that the self-billing note/invoice says in there? (and attach the self-billing invoice note from the agency along with my invoice)
What do you guys think on these?
I am waiting on QDOS review at this time on the contract review, so I am hoping they will say something on this too, if it means anything on the IR35 side of things.
