Self bill process?

[bfg]

I already create an invoice each month for my records, it's no hardship to pop a copy in the post too.

I hope you realise that could very easily be viewed as falsifying your VAT records, you can go to prison for that. They should be sending you a copy for your records.

PS I'm with Modis too. I'm not in the scheme and I never will allow them, or any other agency, to self-bill for all the reasons I listed earlier and some ones specific to them.

I'm not VAT registered, so no falsifying going on. And they do send me bits of paper that I attach to the invoice that I create for my books to show how it all matches up beautifully.

The system they will want you to use is called Hyphen. http://blue.spring.com

I currently use this. I raise an invoice, and attach their remittance advice to this, simple as that.

Self billing simply means that you don't have to send them the invoice, and you get the monies paid into your co a/c quicker in my opinion.

Very good. Now go back and read my first post in this thread and bfg's subsquent comments. Using someone else's payroll system to generate pseudo invoices is only a small pointer in the overall scheme of things IR35, but every little helps...

Would you really walk into Debenhams say - I like that shirt - walk up to the cashier and say here I wrote out the invoice for you to save you having to ring it through your till.

No
No
No - you wouldn't

So why would you let Spring do it to your company - think about it!
