Self-Billing

Self-billing is a billing arrangement where the buyer (customer) issues invoices on behalf of the supplier (seller), rather than the supplier issuing them directly.

What Is Self-Billing and Practical Elements

  • The buyer (customer) generates and issues invoices or credit notes in the name of the supplier.
  • A formal agreement between buyer and supplier is required to enable self-billing. This is not verified by Peppol, but assumed to be existing.
    • Self-bills can include references to documents that contain that agreement. This can be contracts, agreements, or purchase orders. Physical documents of the agreement do not have to be included.
  • Amendments, rejections, and credit notes follow the same flow as standard invoices.
