Consultancies that engage associate consultants often self-bill them from approved timesheets: the firm raises the invoice, applies VAT where you’re registered, and pays you monthly. You don’t invoice the consultancy yourself.
Key points
- The consultancy invoices from approved timesheets.
- VAT applied where you’re VAT-registered.
- Monthly, predictable payment.
- You receive a compliant copy.
Timesheet-driven
Your approved days and rate drive the self-billed invoice, individually or as part of a monthly bulk run.
