Direct-sales and network-marketing companies calculate every distributor’s commission themselves — so self-billing lets you invoice and pay each representative for what they’ve earned.
Under a self-billing agreement with each distributor, you prepare the commission invoice from your own data, apply VAT where due, send a copy and pay.
Standard UK VAT rules apply — most individual distributors are not VAT-registered, so no VAT is added; where a distributor is VAT-registered, VAT is applied. Apex Billing records each distributor’s status so the correct treatment is used.
This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own position with your accountant or HMRC.
