Processors, co-operatives and buyers set the price on weighed and graded produce at intake — so self-billing is the natural way to invoice each farmer or grower.
Under a self-billing agreement, the buyer prepares the invoice from the intake data, applies the correct VAT, sends the producer a copy and pays them.
Standard UK VAT rules apply. Some farmers use the Agricultural Flat Rate Scheme and add a flat-rate addition instead of VAT — record each producer’s status so the correct amount is applied. Apex Billing holds each producer’s VAT position; confirm flat-rate specifics with your adviser.
This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own position with your accountant or HMRC.
