My last 2 agencies used self bill.
On their web forms it had an invoice number reference box so I created one in my accounting package and got them to match up.Comment

They’ll usually generate an invoice for you or you can make one up each month to give to your accountant, it’s fine"You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by gables View PostHmm, if you look at the HMRC website here they say:

Really poor carry on.
A simple question; it didn't need all your high and mighty attitude.
For my part, irrespective of self billing and what the HMRC say they want this week, I just have an annual spreadsheet with all the invoices pre-prepared and then get auto filled when filling in my days worked per month - just in case someone, some time, wants to view them. Belt and Braces? Yes indeed.Comment

However they aren't the only one who has done this in the past. Other posters have complained when they have had to do Health and Safety courses when working on a client site..."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Originally posted by Dark Black View PostSpeak for yourself. Most contractors I know (myself included) insist on invoicing whenever possible.
Aside from anything else it makes accounting easier since I can choose when to generate the invoice rather than having to wait for a self-billing note to arrive from the agency when payment occurs.
10 years of contracting I never accept self-billing and insist on invoicing. All agencies I worked through accepted that and received my invoices. I suspect they simply ignored them but that is their business while I run my own.Comment
