# Understanding impact.com's Invoicing Methods impact.com supports two different invoicing methods: *invoicing via an impact.com entity* and *direct invoicing*. If you're under the invoicing via an impact.com entity method, your billing relationship is with impact.com instead of directly with your brands or partners. {% tabs %} {% tab title="For brands" %} impact.com primarily operates under a *direct invoicing method*, so you, as a brand, can form direct contractual relationships with your partners. However, in some countries (such as those in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia), impact.com uses the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method. Under this method, there is an invoicing relationship with impact.com rather than directly with each of your partners. #### Invoicing via an impact.com entity As of July 1, 2025, brands contracted with one of the following impact.com entities have been moved to the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method: * [Impact Radius Ltd (Impact UK)](https://res.cloudinary.com/product-enablement/image/upload/v1753349632/Finance%20\(Invoices\)%20PDFs/Brand_-_UK_-_Invoice.pdf) ![](https://3964917321-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhRN1rcrim887TwHLBjac%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-06e12321258e7eb7ac63ef7e73640b29fcf2baad%2Fcff634f1183ca82d3b56ab55dd636140372687d8dbc6520872cdbe5010347326.svg?alt=media) **\[Download]** * [Impact Tech Australia Pty Ltd](https://res.cloudinary.com/product-enablement/image/upload/v1753349633/Finance%20\(Invoices\)%20PDFs/Copy_of_Brand_-_AU_-_Invoice.pdf) ![](https://3964917321-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FhRN1rcrim887TwHLBjac%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-06e12321258e7eb7ac63ef7e73640b29fcf2baad%2Fcff634f1183ca82d3b56ab55dd636140372687d8dbc6520872cdbe5010347326.svg?alt=media) **\[Download]** * [Impact Tech Singapore PTE.

You will continue to receive invoices for costs based on transaction due dates. These invoices are generated monthly and grouped within your [Statement of Invoices (SOI)](https://app.gitbook.com/s/wMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/understand-the-soi-and-prf-documents). Because all invoices in the SOI come from the same counterparty, any applicable indirect taxes (such as VAT or GST) will be applied consistently across all costs. #### What isn't changing under the impact.com entity invoicing method? You will continue to [fund your impact.com account](https://app.gitbook.com/s/wMLlMoFBtKJa8ptd3zaw/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/add-funds-to-your-funding-account/deposit-funds-into-your-account) and partners will still receive their payments after your funding accounts are properly funded. #### Tax/VAT under the impact.com entity invoicing method Since you are invoiced directly from the applicable impact.com entity for all partner payments, consistent indirect tax treatment will apply to all such costs. Indirect tax will be calculated based on the applicable tax rules in your region that apply to you and the impact.com entity. #### Direct invoicing method Brands not contracted with the specific impact.com entities mentioned above will continue to operate under the *direct invoicing method*. Under this method, impact.com provides a platform through which you can form direct contractual relationships with your partners. You can purchase traffic (in the form of referrals, conversions, leads, and clicks) directly from your partners. The primary regions that will remain under this method include: * North America — United States of America, Canada, Mexico. * Latin America * Greater China * Other parts of Asia, e.g., Japan The funding process and in-platform contracting workflow follow a standardized process. The difference is that partners located in the regions under the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method will issue invoices through the relevant impact.com entity. The invoice will include a detailed partner breakdown, providing the same level of visibility as before, and these invoices (from impact.com entities) will be included in your Statement of Invoices (SOI). #### Tax/VAT under the direct invoicing method There are no changes to how the tax obligations are calculated. However, indirect tax may still apply, if both you and the invoicing counterparty are registered for indirect tax in the same jurisdiction. {% hint style="success" %} **Note:** Partners who use the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method may have indirect tax applied to their invoices. In these cases, the impact.com entity pays it directly to the partner. {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% tab title="For partners" %} impact.com primarily operates under a *direct invoicing method*, but in select global regions, impact.com uses the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method. Under this method, there is an invoicing relationship with impact.com rather than directly with each of your partnered brands. As of July 1, 2025, partners with a billing address in the following regions use the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method.

The system will issue invoices to impact.com (typically grouped by due date). For a consolidated view of your invoicing data across due dates, use the [Invoices by Brand report](https://app.gitbook.com/s/b2rE79d9UhOKZQLgzSqx/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/finance-documents/invoices-explained-for-partners). The report summarizes the amounts invoiced, paid, and withdrawn on each invoice, split by brand. Whenever either you or the brand uses *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method, the invoice will be addressed to one of the following impact.com legal entities as the invoicing counterparty: * Impact Radius Ltd * Impact Tech Australia Pty Ltd * Impact Tech Singapore PTE. Ltd #### What isn't changing under the invoicing via an impact.com entity invoicing method? Your in-platform contracting workflows follow a standardized process, and you will still receive your payments immediately once your brand's funding account has been debited. {% hint style="success" %} **Note:** If a brand defaults on a payment, it means the brand has not funded their account — not that impact.com has failed to pay you. You are paid once the brand's funding account has been successfully debited, so the brand is responsible for ensuring that their account is adequately funded. {% endhint %} #### Tax/VAT under the invoicing via an impact.com invoicing method Since the invoicing relationship is with a single counterparty for all earnings, indirect taxes are calculated based on the applicable tax regulations in your region in relation to the impact.com entity acting as the invoicing counterparty. The table below outlines whether tax is levied under this method based on your tax jurisdiction and the corresponding impact.com entity: | Your tax jurisdiction | impact.com entity | Is tax levied? | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | | UK | Impact Radius Ltd | Yes | | Germany (or any other country in Europe, Middle East or Africa, excluding UK) | Impact Radius Ltd | No, reverse charge applied for countries in Europe | | Australia | Impact Tech Australia (Pty) Ltd | Yes | | New Zealand | Impact Tech Australia (Pty) Ltd | No | | Singapore | Impact Tech Singapore PTE.

The primary regions that will remain in the *direct invoicing method* include: * North America — United States of America, Canada, Mexico. * Latin America * Greater China * Other parts of Asia, e.g Partners that operate under the *direct invoicing method* will invoice the brands directly. However, if a brand uses the *invoicing via an impact.com entity* invoicing method, those earnings will be invoiced via the relevant impact.com entity (even for partners on the *direct invoicing method*). These invoices will include a detailed breakdown by brand. {% hint style="warning" %} **Warning:** The [account maintenance fee](https://app.gitbook.com/s/b2rE79d9UhOKZQLgzSqx/what-would-you-like-to-learn-about/platform-features/finance/payments-withdrawals-and-balance/withdraw-funds-to-your-bank-account) differs for the *invoicing via an impact.com entity invoicing method* and the *direct invoicing method*: **impact.com entity invoicing method**: £25 GBP per month (or your payout currency equivalent). **Direct invoicing method**: $10 USD per month (or your payout currency equivalent). {% endhint %} {% endtab %} {% endtabs %}
