Self-billing for waste & environmental services

Waste and environmental firms hold the weighbridge and job data — so self-billing lets you invoice each subcontractor or supplier by weight, load or job.

Why self-billing works for waste & environmental services

How it works

Under a self-billing agreement, the firm prepares the invoice from weighbridge or job data, applies VAT where due, sends a copy and pays.

VAT & compliance

Standard UK VAT rules apply to most waste and environmental services. Apex Billing records each supplier’s VAT status and number so the correct treatment is used on every load or job.
