Production companies approve crew timesheets and day rates themselves — so self-billing lets you raise each freelancer’s or loan-out company’s invoice on a production run.
Under a self-billing agreement with each crew member or loan-out company, the production prepares the invoice from approved data, applies VAT where due, sends a copy and pays.
Standard UK VAT rules apply — add VAT where the freelancer or loan-out company is VAT-registered, and none where they are not. Apex Billing records each supplier’s VAT status so the right treatment is used.
This is general information, not tax advice — confirm your own position with your accountant or HMRC.
